Just got back from hiking in the woods with my new wife

[dshpipes]

Kidding! We're not married!

My girlfriend Bonnie and I spent a week last week in Asheville, NC where we did some white water rafting and hiked a small portion of the Appalachian Trail. Here are some pics from our trip.

Our campsite in Asheville

White Water Rafting

Parking in Hot Springs, NC and about to hike up to the AT

This trail led up to the AT and was a grueling 3-mile uphill climb

This was a welcome sight

Our AT campsite

Views from the Fire Tower over Hot Springs, NC on the Appalachian Trail

Made some tea and breakfast at the Fire Tower

Took some photos of mushrooms on our way back down

Homestretch!

A welcome meal after a tough hike

Before leaving Asheville, we visited Looking Glass Falls

And took in some views of the Blue Ridge Parkway

It was a great trip.

Great pics. I've seen most of that territory one time or another. Even jumped from the top of Looking Glass Falls as a teen while on vacation with my family. Water is a lot colder than it looks in early May. Glad you had a  happy time. You're welcome to come back to our beautiful state anytime and be sure to bring lots of money to spend. We preshate it. :twisted: :twisted:

It's going to be a cultural norm, soon. Get married, go camping for a week. If you both come back in one piece, it's got a chance. :lol:

Great shots, Dave.
