Day Trip - Davidson River

Yesterday we decided to take an afternoon trip to North Carolina.  I know it is the middle of the week, but since hubby is unemployed, he seems to take pleasure in being able to go and do at odd times after being such a nose to the grindetone 7 to 7 guy for so long.  
 We drove into Pisgah and found a place where I could easily get down to the Davidson River.  I would have liked to do more walking, but my knees just weren't up to it.  Someone had gone to a lot of trouble to haul rocks and build this circular dam/weir.  Why we had no idea.  Listening to the water was lovely, and we stayed until the mosquitoes and no see ems found us.
 On the bank near the river, ferns and tree roots make a lovely tangle.
We treated ourselves to dinner out, not an expensive one, at this lovely place.  We enjoyed the food and certainly will go back.
