Adventure

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power" Alan Cohen

Where is the prospecting?

This is suppose to be a blog about prospecting and being a prospector's wife. So where's the prospecting? We did drive through the LDMA campground in North Carolina where we'd thought about taking the grandkids sometime. But prospecting in my mind is more about seeking treasures and enjoying the journey in that search. So why we may not be digging for gold, our travels lead us to new places with new adventures and we leave with lots of memories. Stay tuned for some close to home digging!

I-40 September trip


We had business back in Asheville so we left the heat of Arizona and headed East along I-40.  When we're driving rather than truckin' we drive til 6 or 7 pm.  This trip we stopped at casinos with poker rooms to collect a chip for my son along the way.   Gallup, NM didn't really qualify, but we stopped there and headed onto Oklahoma.  The rest stops in the Midwest are great!  Not like the cement picnic tables and barrels for garbage out west!  Arkansas had a pretty garden of plants typical to the area.

When got to North Carolina via the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, stepping on the Appalachian Trail on the way , we visited Mike's family (brother, niece, sister) in Asheville and the kids and grandkids in Winston-Salem.
 


We climbed up to the top of Clingman's Dome (well, Mike coaxed me up) and got a wonderful view.  We have such a beautiful country!
