Mountain Camping

With all this nice (if wet) summer weather, and no school, The Fuzz and His Sweetie decided to take advantage of the situation and head off for a short camping trip in the mountains.  So they took that Not So Young Daughter and friend and loaded up the trailer, and headed up the winding road to the Black Mt. Campground.  This is a really nice place located on the Toe River at the foot of Mt. Mitchell.  Since they have retired, these trips are no longer limited to weekends, when the campgrounds tend to be a bit more crowded.
Of course, there was a good chance of rain (a definite trend these days) but it usually rains in the mountains anyway.  And, The Fuzz has this nice big new tent!  So let it rain!

The Fuzz took this shot of the river while he was out for a morning walk.
Surprisingly, there were not many other campers around.
Yeah, it did rain, hard.  But not all the time.  And when it did, they were able to get under the tarp- or into their Portable Mansion.
