A beautiful view from Clingman's domeAfter we got our car fixed, we finally left Atlanta around 3:00 on Tuesday afternoon. We drove to Black Mountain, NC to spend some time with friends. A lovely evening of fellowship. We then drove on to Sylva, NC. Marc spoke Wednesday night. We had never been to this church and met many new friends. It is always exciting to see new people get excited about Honduras. We look forward to a long relationship with the good folks at Sylva. Thanks to our friends, Terry and Jody for hosting us.
Thursday morning we had a long drive ahead of us as we were headed to Searcy. We studied the map and chose the route that went throught the Smoky Mountain National Forest. It was a good choice. The drive was beautiful. The tops of the trees were crowned with reds and oranges and the fall slowly creeps in. In about two weeks the forest should be blazing in full autumn beauty.
We decided to drive up to Clingman's Dome, the highest point in North Carolina. Again, a beautifu drive. We could not get that far and not walk the last 300 feet to the peak. The peak is over 6300 feet above sea level. Three hundred feet is equivalent to climbing a 30 story building. It was not an easy trek, but oh so worth it to see the more of the beauty God created.
It was awesome.
We hiked back down and made the rest of the drive to Searcy.
I can't wait to start hugging those grandkids before I leave for Honduras.
