You’ll probably see a number of these camping trip galleries appear on this site as time passes. The portion of North Carolina depicted here is absolutely beautiful year round, but especially so in the fall!

These photos were taken in the Nantahala National Forest a few miles outside Highlands, North Carolina in October, 2004.
You probably don’t want to bother clicking the above link if you aren’t blessed with broadband. This is a HUGE chunk of data, with random pics of some of our family dogs located near the end.
We like to go camping about every three months in the forest. There are a wide variety of moderate to excruciatingly painful hikes in the area, and some really amazing scenery. Our camp site is right next to a rushing stream, and makes for some of the best sleep I ever get.
If you know me, remind me to tell you the story of when Stan fell into the campfire. I wasn’t there, but it’s still funny!
