We did avail ourselves of the campground showers and they are quite nice, except for only one hook--my perpetual complaint. Keep in mind is that almost never do campground showers have a place to put your clothes where they will remain dry and the one hook they do put in is for your towel, clothes, shoes, shampoo and soap. If there is a soap tray, often as not it and the hook were designed by ski jump specialists. What is with that? I understand why solving the federal budget problems is difficult, or why all disease in the world hasn't been eradicated, but decent hooks in showers? C'mon.
This morning we will take off as early as possible because we will be crossing the mountains into North Carolina for a campground called Moonshine Creek near Asheville. Not that far as the crow flies but perhaps a challenge to truck and trailer. We'll see. Anyway, yesterday we decided to hike the bike path from the dam to the Fall Creek Falls overlook--a pretty easy hike on a beautiful fall day. It's a little difficult to discern which trail goes where or how far because both the maps and the signage are somewhat lacking. I have always wondered if most state park maps were actually drawn on the back of a napkin over a beer after a long day outside. And this sign does raise questions, doesn't it?
