After leaving the Winston-Salem area, we headed toward Brevard, NC. Our goal was to take in as many forest roads and free camping as we could. Our destination was meandering in the Pisgah National Forest.

Our favorite spot of the trip turns out to be our first stop. At Cathey’s Creek, we enjoyed a special dinner of beef and garlic pinwheels and tried to build a campfire. Fire wasn’t going to happen because of all the recent rain. We filled our dromedary bag with water from the creek. Robert continues to comment how great that creek water tasted.

We enjoyed curvy dirt roads in the forest, stopping along the way to work here and there when we came across internet service. We finally reached Hot Springs, NC and decided to become residents for the week just outside of town at the Paint Creek Recreational Area.

The library in Hot Springs became our office for the week. We stayed damp with all the rain. Oscar made it very difficult to keep a straight face while on a client call.

Have a listen to this week’s episode to hear all about it. We hope you enjoy as we get just a tad silly. Maybe slap-happy is a better word.
