Lake Lure
Surroundings
The low mountains around Lake Lure
were ablaze with fall color when we were there
Tiny creeks have cut steep ravines throughout the
entire area.
.Homes, farms,, and entire communities, with names like Bat Cave
and Chimney Rock, cling to the sides of these ravines, linked precariously by
miles and miles of narrow winding roads
and a countless number of bridges
The downside to all this quaintness is the driving. Bruce swore the civil engineer who laid out
the roads was drunk and had us going around in circle. Even our Garmin GPS system couldn’t find a
direct route to anywhere.
Then there was the problem of finding provisions
This little building had the only Groceries and gas
available for miles Open 12 noon - 5 pm closed on Sundays. AND NO BOOZE of any sort!
Welcome to Appalachia
Sorry folks no hard
cider sold here.
But the unpasteurized freshly squeezed apple cider was
the best I had ever tasted. We brought a gallon of it home for each of our
neighbors..yum
