Memorial Weekend.... the weather forcast seemed questionable heading south, we decided to head to the mountains. What a beautiful drive, after having traveled many counties and alot of our USA, I have to say the North Carolina scenery and the cleanliness along our highways far exceed many other places in this world! REALLY!

Recently I found an old photo. It was taken of an Indian with a feather headress standing with my brother David, my cousin Gerald, and I, I was maybe 8. It was of a family trip where we traveled to Cherokee NC, and this trip we had our photo made with an Indian in full dress just like then. It still seems very nostalgic to drive the winding roads and passing the old roadside vendors, many hadn't seemed to change a great deal, except a new paint job.  

I went to Cherokee again once, right after the Harrah's Casino opened, but boy has it changed. First they are building another hotel tower at Harrah's; which is larger than the structure they have now; then the new parking structure surpasses the largest parking decks at LAX Airport! It's just very nice. Since it's all video gaming it's not really for me.....it was for 100's of people there though.   

So if you're looking for a different adventure, call us; the Helicopter rides were only $20, rafting not much more...take off the the west, and vison a time when things were more simple. :-)
