Score one for the good ole NC roadmap
This time, the GPS was wrong.
While traveling through the Pisgah National Forest Thursday, we were trying to figure out if we were going the right way to the waterfalls we wanted to see. So we plugged in some coordinates, and hit “Start.”
I figured we needed to go south, but the GPS was telling us to go north for about 20 miles. That didn’t seem right, so I went old school, and pulled out the trusty NC DOT road map. Sure enough, we needed to go south.
It doesn’t happen often, but low-tech trumped high-tech this time.
Chasing waterfalls, Day 2
Looking Glass Falls: It’s pretty breath-taking, huh?
This time, my sister Patricia and I went searching for waterfalls, and we found a couple of beauties in the Pisgah National Forest in Transylvania County.
Trish went the extra mile to get good photos.
The last of two we found turned out to be the best. It was Looking Glass Falls, and it was pretty fantastic. My sister, my dog Tyler and I walked down the steps to get a good look at it. (Later, we’d walk back up. Whew! I need to get in better shape.) I took some photos, and so did my sister. In fact, my sister maneuvered around to get some better photos. I stayed at the observation area with Tyler.
Tyler strikes an irresistible while at Looking Glass Falls.
And speaking of Tyler, he didn’t seem all that taken by the waterfall. He seemed more interested in charming the ladies.
Sliding Rock Falls, at Pisgah National Forest.
Earlier, we viewed Sliding Rock Falls in the forest. This place doubles as a water slide and swimming hole. But on this mid-October day, the air — and presumably the water — was too chilly for people to don their bathing suits and take the plunge.
