Hidey one and all!! I missed you. We arrived home safely at 2 pm yesterday from our trip to visit our friends in Yadkin County, NC. After we were unpacked, I made a trip to the grocery store. I have ~200 gorgeous photos to sort thru from the beautiful NC Mountains. The weather was perfect for trekking and taking photos. Tuesday June 15 we took our first trek on the Yadkin Valley River Walk.
Today's post will be from that Trek

As we arrived we saw this cute little hut welcoming us
The 'stick library' bottom left photo was so funny!!
The Yadkin River Greenway is a work in progress, currently in three segments that have yet to be joined. Construction will take place during summer 2011. It is 5.2 miles
The Yadkin River is one of the longest rivers in North Carolina, flowing 215 miles. It rises in the northwestern portion of the state near the Blue Ridge Parkway's Thunder Hill Overlook. Several parts of the river are impounded by dams for water, power, and flood control
I love covered bridges! Imagine my delight when I saw this up ahead on the river walk
Signs says Horse Riders Dismount to cross the bridge.
We didn't see any horses
We thoroughly enjoyed the shaded trail
It meander on giving us much needed exercise after 2 hours of riding
We turned around at this field. It was a gorgeous day!!
Here is a short video of my Grandcats Mia da Tortie and Frisco da Gingerman
Looks gorgeous! We would have loved it!
ReplyDeleteLooks gorgeous! We would have loved it!
ReplyDeleteThe Yadkin River Greenway looks lovely. And it's always great to hear about new walking trails being constructed. Bertie wants to know if dogs are allowed on the trail and Gail is of course wondering about bicycle?
ReplyDelete..."keep animals on leash of less than six feet and clean up after them"...
DeleteThat was a lovely leafy trail to go along. Mia and Frisco are cute.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a most wonderful time! Love the little hut!

I want to walk that path. That is absolutely beautiful and I'm still laughing at the stick library that is indeed the first one I have ever seen and what a super duper idea. I'm so glad you're home safely and thanks for sharing the kitties
ReplyDeleteLove the color of the daylily. The stick library made me giggle.
ReplyDeleteI've never been across a covered bridge like that.
Your grand kitties are sweeties.
What a lovely place for a walk. We loved the video of the kitties grooming each other too.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, that looks like a terrific place for a walk. Those washing up kitties sure are cute.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had been with you on this river walk. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAw on the kitties. So precious and I loved the music in the background.
Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. Big hug, honey. ♥
What a wonderful walking trail. Dad loves covered bridges too. Great seeing the grandcats and thanks for bringing us along. Cant wait for all the photos to come
ReplyDeleteLovely photos- thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place. The stick library is a clever idea. Your grandkitties are cuties. XO
ReplyDeleteI do love those kind of places. And the stick library gave me a chuckle, too. Glad you were able to get away for a while and enjoy yourselves.
ReplyDeleteWith the heat we have here, walking along that shaded trail must have been so nice. We laughed out loud at the stick library. We would probably empty it every day and we aren't so sure we would return the sticks:)

Thank you for showing the pictures of your trek with us.
ReplyDeleteExcellent trek and excellent photo diary! I really enjoyed seeing the covered bridges! And the video of the Grand Cats.
ReplyDeleteLove that covered bridge and that beautiful shady trail. Can't wait to hear more!
