i have been in love with north carolina (the mountains)  for quite some time now.  i spent two summers guiding in these mountains and something about being back here makes me feel right at home.  the four of us packed up the car and drove up through tennessee  to see the great grandparents and then over to lake nantahala and spent the week fishing, boating, and plain ole relaxing.  i may want to move back someday or at least for the summer.  i dream of a cabin where my kids can run wild and grow their own veggies.  i think i will start planning.
all of these images were taking with my iphone that happened to fall in a waterfall at the end of my trip.  please back up your images!
