East-West North Carolina, November 2023, Part 11

 From Lake Norman we drove down to Fletcher, NC; and up to the mountaintop home of my cousin Gary. And do I mean up! There are some steep roads on that climb up!

It was also our chance to meet his partner Kathy. She and I had been friends on Facebook for several years, so we weren't entirely strangers. It was like being with someone you have known forever, a very comfortable relationship.

Here's the cast of characters, starting with Kathy and me:



Gary and Norbert:


Gary and me (and yes, there is strong resemblance between him and my brother Bill):



The view from the house are not bad at all, and almost make up for the terrifying drive up to it. 







Wait, there's another member of the family! Meet Oreo!




We visited the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge, which was sadly destroyed by the hurricane in September 2024. 





And of course took several long drives through the beautiful mountains!
