Weekend Wandering in North Carolina

Fall is so brief and often very difficult to call.  Pundits will make predictions based on the rainfall and the elevation, etc. but nature has a way of doing as she pleases.  Many years I have been just too early or a little late, but this weekend the fall color is exploding in Maggie Valley, my base for a couple of days.  Just one thing messed things up - the dull and dreary weather.  Those drop dead gorgeous images you see in magazines happen either with a lot of luck, or a lot of planning and persistence.  Sometimes, as was the case this weekend, you need both.
