Day 74: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 - Mike

Up early (at least by Central time standards) at 7:00 and watch the sun rise over the mountain.  Sat out on the deck until others awoke for the day.

A busy day, exploring the neighborhood.  Hiked a few miles up to see water falls at Catawba Falls, which were splendid.  Then, ate lunch at a place called Countryside BBQ.  Very tasty.  Had the pulled pork plate.



Next, we had a little ice cream at the Jack Frost Dairy Bar. Then, after an afternoon thunderstorm, drove up to the highest mountain east of the Mississippi, Mount Mitchell. Very enjoyable drive and views all around (once the clouds cleared out a bit.)  Here's Tom pointing out the spectacular views behind him:



Drove back to Tom and Bonnie's house and relaxed a bit before supper, some ravioli and salad. Chatted and listen to music throughout the rest of the evening.
