"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

Fall Break, Part 2:...to North Carolina

Well, we finally got to go to Cherohala Skyway on the Sunday of Fall Break. And it was fun! Not too long of a drive, and the colors were just gorgeous on the Skyway, too.

First we stopped by the Visitor's Center, and I found a geocache (what else?). We also visited a very nice museum nearby that nicely displayed telephones "back in the day". Mom was teasing me because I didn't even know how to "dial" a telephone! The museum was very nice--not big, but free is always our price! Really enjoyed seeing the rows and rows of early telephones, a telephone repair truck, and even two early telephones you could talk on!

After the telephone museum, we hit the Skyway and just drank in the beautiful color, turn after beautiful turn. It was really wonderful, there was hardly anyone there, and many pull-offs were provided to see a view for a longer time. We had a wonderful picnic lunch at almost 3,000 feet (a great view, too!), and continued into North Carolina so that I could rack up a cache in another state! :D


Well, that's 'bout it except for the photos. Enjoy!
