Boys, every Labor Day, Grammy's family goes camping for 3 days up in the mountains between Hayesville, NC and Franklin, NC. This year, we went up for a few hours on Saturday. I guess that this was our first "camping" trip....even though we didn't stay overnight. They had about 7 or 8 tents set up at their campsite, and they had a big fire pit going. They were right on the riverbank as well. The water was so cold that I put one foot in it and got right back out, but it wasn't too cold for you boys! You guys went right in it and had a blast. You skipped rocks, floated in tubes, and did all kinds of crazy stuff in the river. You put marshmallows on the ends of some long sticks and roasted them over the fire.
I was talking to Grammy's daddy...everybody calls him Paw Paw. He said that his family used to own the land that they were camping on, and he told me a lot of the stories about how they used to run around and play on it when he was a boy. He said that there was an old mine up there right beside the land and that there were said to be someone's body buried up in that mine. I think that he's told that story before to scare the younger kids. He told me about seeing bears and cougars roaming around that area before, too.
We had a good time for the few hours that we spent up there...especially Cody, I think. Maybe we will do the "camping" thing again one day soon.
