I promised a few more pictures of the beautiful area of Panther Creek.
This was the view from part of our Sunday afternoon hike. Cherokee Lake.
Red Bud was everywhere beautifying Spring
Jake spotted the dino-dog rock.
The trail system around here is excellent for hiking, biking and running.
We found a cool little limestone tunnel, which when you pass through.....
...you turn into Janna
This State Park is one of the nicest we've seen. They even have sword fighters,
and tennis courts.
I don't know what kind of tree pod this is, but the star below is the seed ball of a sugar gum tree.
We were under the impression that only Texas could fly their flag on the same pole as the stars and stripes, but it is also done in other states like Tennessee.
We headed through Virginia on Hwy 81, and it's all beautiful rolling farm land.
We camped in a sea of trucks at the Pilot in Northern Virginia. We're glad for the place to camp, and more glad that this is not a common view out our window.
We enjoyed another visit with our West Virginian friends, Charles and Mary, before heading for the North. On Thursday, April 7th, we drove from W.V., passed through Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, where we had to see Boston and some late evening sights..
including this little known bar,
and Faneuil Hall, where Sam Adams helped plan the Boston Tea Party riot,..
And the court yard of Harvard founded in 1636...
... before we carried on to New Hampshire.
The 20 mile coastal part of NH. is beautiful,
and they've got this cool sub at Portsmouth.
"Tell the Captain I see cars coming over a bridge!"
"CAp'n! there's cars coming over the bridge.
..and can we get some better sleeping arrangements?"
The best part of NH for me was 0 sales tax. Perfect time for a new set of tires.
Maine seems to be quite concerned about our physical well being.
This is what I see on any long drive day.
At Blue Hill we went to church with Paul and Ginger Doyle, who we met at Mustang in Texas.
They had us over for chili after church...
and we got to play with Jada again, too.
Monday, April 11th it's on to New Brunswick.
