Halloween pumpkin decorates mountain stream near Asheville, North Carolina
After getting our RV problem resolved (to the tune of too many $$), we headed directly to Asheville, North Carolina, to travel the southern portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway that was closed two weeks ago due to rock slide concerns.
The sun shone brightly, temps rose to shirt-sleeve weather, and there was still enough color to bring a broad smile to our faces.
A different segment of the byway was closed. The detour led us down a narrow, winding mountain road popping with heartlifting color. As we creeped around a tight switchback, we caught sight of a tumbling creek with a bright addition smiling from its waters — a Jack O’Lantern!
A six-year-0ld girl and her dad had just finished placing it on its wet, rock throne. Someone places a pumpkin there every year, they told us.
Scenery here in North Carolina is full of delightful surprises.
Happy Halloween!
