2nd leg of vacation - Boone, NC

Halina's firt hike, Elk Knob, NC - where she hiked happily on her own the first several hundred yards!
Nearby Blowing Rock,
a walk around the pond and half way through a maze....
Hiking with friends Guenevere and Mike.
I'm particluarly happy here because I'm about to go to a spa,
Westglo, for the afternoon - what a place!!!
Yes, we did the Tweetsie Railroad thing....
Halina was no so up to clogging, though she did like the petting zoo, train and horse rides....

Back at the cabin, we ate well each night. Mike caught a 19" trout, yumm


Our view of Elk knob from the porch.
Guenevere has worked to protect the surrounding mountains.
An afternoon swim at Wildcat Lake nearby Banner Elk
The view from Elk Knob, NC
Do you see Halina asleep?
I wish it were me in the backpack, what a climb!
