Marathon Megan: Rebecca's Visit (May 2014)

My friend Rebecca came from Raleigh to visit. When she arrived, she met up with a co-worker and I to look at art galleries. Downtown Waynesville was having its first Art After Dark of the year. We introduced her to the popcorn and homemade sodas at the Strand. The Strand is a small and awesome theater on Main Street.

On Saturday morning, we headed into Transylvania County to check out waterfalls. Our first stop was Moore Cove falls. Whom did we run into? My friends from Greenville! Moore Cove falls was a 0.7 mile hike each way and you could stand behind it. Our next adventure was Looking Glass Falls. I had already seen these falls several times, but Looking Glass is one that any visitor should see. We definitely had some company at that stop. Our next stop was Twin Falls. These falls are over 2 miles each way. We drove to the trail head, had lunch and then hiked to the falls. The trail was narrow, but not difficult. The falls had a lot of brush/downed limbs, but we still got a pretty good view. I think that one tired us out a little. We made a final stop at Sliding Rock before heading home. This one is not a waterfall, but a natural waterslide. It gets very crowded in the warmer months. Saturday night, we went to Jackson County to see Soco Falls (twin falls) and Mingo Falls. Both are fantastic and worth the trip. It was my first venture out to Mingo.

On Sunday, Rebecca joined me for church before heading back east. Thanks for visiting!
