Bear with Me

10/16/2015

So yesterday morning, I was visiting with the campground owner, Jim, and he was regaling me and others with stories he had told the children of friends to give them a good scare involving bears and a headless man running through the creek, etc. Then he proceeded to tell us that this actually is a very active bear area and that there actually is a den at the top of the hill but he only sees the mother bear occasionally.

Now I know this is certainly possible--after all I read and saw A Walk in the Woods, but Jim had pretty much admitted he is a shameless storyteller. But just to be on the safe side, we went into Asheville for the day and, after scoping out the Grove Park Inn and making anniversary dinner reservations for tonight, spent a couple of hours at the Southern Highlands Craft Fair. The wares included incredible weaving, wood working,  jewelry, and pottery. We didn't buy anything--after all we're trying to downsize--but I did pick up several business cards of people I may want to contact later. There even was a woman who makes oilcloth floor cloths and place mats in the manner of the Craftsman style of the Twenties.

This morning, laundry for sure and probably a grocery store run. Plus our neighbors told us about a great apple orchard nearby. Then tonight we will have dinner on the Sunset Terrace and probably have to sell the camper afterwards to pay for it. Our anniversary isn't actually until Monday--52 years--but we were told not to miss out on this dining experience. Besides, Monday is also the anniversary of Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown so we can celebrate that instead.

I wonder if that's a bear I hear outside...
