Faster than a speeding bullet...

Us older folks remember hearing this phrase at the beginning of the old Superman TV show.  Sara and Brad just visited for a couple of days and time passed 'faster than a speeding bullet.' We packed a lot of fun in just a few days.

Brad and Sara whitewater rafted

on the French Broad River from

Marshall to Hot Springs.

Sara & Brad on the street in Asheville.

Just after I snapped the photo a person biked past us,

 blessing pedestrians & dogs (dressed as a nun.) The

bicycle seat was 10+ feet in the air!

Ahhhh, Asheville with 'eccentric weirdos.'

Pausing at an overlook on the Blue Ridge

Parkway (Asheville in background.)

Hiking, enjoying the quiet woods.

Big rocks, great for resting from hiking.

Exploring.

Here we are mining, earlier this summer.

We returned to relieve our gems

that were polished!
