Winter Excursion 8, Day 13

After breakfast we drove to Elkin, NC. We needed a few groceries and Elkin had the closest store. We were excited to see gas below $3.00! Picked up our groceries and then headed north on GA Rt 21 to Sparta, NC. It was an interesting drive and reminded us of the windy, twisting, switch-back roads in Tennessee. 

Headed back to camp we drove NC Rt 18 and headed back down the mountain on a different set of windy, twisting, switch-back roads. The entire round trip was interesting. Lots of Christmas tree farms, abandon homes, and old camps, and lots of poor folks. Here's pic of a Christmas Tree farm on a hillside. We saw hundreds of these and lots of trucks hauling cut Christmas Trees.

On the way back into the park we snapped this pic of Garden Creek Baptist Church. They still hold services here.

Back at camp we just relaxed and enjoyed our 72 deg, sunny, weather. Tomorrow is forecast to be just like today, so a little more exploring is on the agenda.
