Welcome to

  a summer outside Brevard, North Carolina
 Thanks for the visit to our travel site.
 We thought we would share a little of a super summer
 in Western North Carolina mountains. We spent about
 15 hours a week working in the Pisque Nation Forest
 which allowed us to make at least two all day hikes
 a week. This gave us a free camp site for the period.
 This is prime trout fishing waters and super
 hiking country. Enjoy the trip.

 every week down the road ~2km
 If you love music this is one place you will love.
 The world famous Brevard College of Music is just
 20 miles from our camp grounds in Brevard, North
 Carolina. The Forest also has in excess of 700 miles of
 prime trout fishing. The world famous Applachian
 trail for hiking from Georgia to Maine runs through
 here. It has hundreds of serious hiking trails all
 over the these beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
 The Blue Grass music in the town Gazibo every
 Thursday night (free) was excellent also.

 waterfalls are available in the area
 It is possible on some trails to hike all day long
 and never have the hot summer North Carolina sun
 hit you. As a large number of the tails wind all
 around the 6,000 foot mountains under mountian
 laurel, rhededendren, and other flora. Some of the
 mountain side are covered in blue berries in season
 where on one trip we picked two gallons with out
 moving twentey feet total. Remember that every
 thousand foot in elevation is 6 degrees cooler!
