Dry Falls, Highlands NC

Dry Falls is accessible from Hwy 64 near Highlands, NC in

the Cullasaja Gorge of the Nantahala National Forest.  The

winding road reminds me of driving in the mountains of Jamaica.

Summer Music in Flat Rock

Peace Out performed on October 2nd at the final concert in Flat Rock.

Their music is an eclectic blend of folk, country, African

and Celtic.  It was a great occasion to listen to some

good music and look at the audience - kids,

retirees and young folk.
