Camping in Maggie's Valley, NC

Some people go camping and take just about everything. But, what was so strange, they never took anything off the van to use.


This is the little rabbit that stayed by our campsite and entertained Jasper. Then, there was the raccoon who tried to open Jasper's pail of cat food. He couldn't so, he started dragging it into the woods. However, Carl had to go get it in the middle of the night. There was this female cardinal that kept pecking at our car outside mirrors. The lady from the campsite opposite ours told us that she did it to the other peoples car too. They think she doesn't like it that we were camping in that spot. Maybe she has babies or eggs in the bushes and doesn't want up around.



Below 2 pics of Jasper being entertained with the rabbit and a little bug he was trying to catch.

This is the layout of the Atalaya house at the Huntington State Park. The actual home is the square around the courtyard. It is all brick and cement.

Pre-wedding photos and graduation pictures were being taken while we visited. This is the courtyard.

This is a pic of the outside. Each room had a fireplace--those are some of the chimneys sticking up.

Carl and I took a long walk through the woods toward the ocean. But, we ended up at the sandpiper pond just before the ocean. It was a long trail that we ended up having to repeat to get back.

We are staying tonight at Creekside Farm RV Park in Waynesville, NC. It is a beautiful park on a creek in Maggies Valley overlooking the Smokey Mountains. It is sure a clean park--one of the vest we have visited. The bathrooms are each individual rooms with larger shower, counter sink and toilet (your own bathroom, just like home.)

Tomorrow we will head over the mountain to Knoxville on I40 to I75 to Cincinnati. The weather was in the 80's today and suppose to be about 75 up to Indianapolis where we are heading. However, could have rain. Hope weather will be good when we get home.
