On the way home from Asheville I traveled 64 most of the way in. 64 brought me by the Ocoee which is where the Olympic Canoe and Kayak competitions were held in 1996. It is some beautiful country and a very popular place for river rats to congregate and play and it is only about an hour from my house. Due to all of the rains that we have been having lately the river was VERY high. I was amazed that there were people on the river. I was thinking the whole time that I hope those people had gotten some term life insurance rates.
The river was not only high…it was flowing really really fast.
I love to go rafting, but there was no way in the world that I would have ventured out on the river in the shape that it was in.
There was even water spurting out of the mountains at every turn and making the road like a slip and slide.
All of the rains have made it a beautiful site to behold. But I am so thankful that it has FINALLY quit raining here.

I’m glad it’s stopped raining, but the rain really did make the river and mountains beautiful!
