Headed North (Carolina)

I know it's a holiday weekend.
I know everybody's gonna be crawling around the mountains.
I don't care.
I need a small stream trout fix.


Or at least a taste of the sorts of places where mountain trout live.


Headed to North Carolina this weekend. The folks on Facebook suggested Brevard, so that's where it's gonna be. I don't mind crowdsourcing things.


Wish me luck. The weather looks a bit iffy, but I'm doing it anyway. Six and a half hour drive be damned. If the water is a mess, there's always trails to hike and sights to see...


The family is headed to Disney instead.
Pavement, pavement, everywhere.
Oppressive heat.
A similar threat of rain.
And worse crowds.


I love my girls but...
I'll risk the mountains.
