Join us in the stunning region of western North Carolina, USA as we enjoy the sheer beauty of one of her best waterfalls, Rufus Morgan falls, in the heart of Appalachia. It was a gorgeous Easter Day where we had the falls to ourselves (for the most part). Hope y'all enjoy.

Join us as we hike to two different fire towers on the Appalachian trail in western North Carolina, United States. On one of them, you can see the smoke from an active fire below us. Learn a bit about the history and enjoy the beauty of the views of those ancient mountains.

An update on the completion of my workspace.
