It's off to visit friends and attend the North Carolina Apple Festival in Hendersonville, NC. Although I have come to really appreciate the GPS built into my car, old fashioned maps are still the best for meandering road trips. Look for the roads that run parallel to the highway and go exploring.

The day started with me turning my beautiful BMW into a redneck drying rack.
It's always fun to take the back roads. You see so much more than what is visible from the highway. The slower pace gives you a chance to appreciate the little things and be aware of more detail.

There are interesting things to see when stopped at a crossroads.

| There could be 25,000 bees in there. |
Scooter is wiped out after our busy day. Hopefully, he has learned not to chase honey bees again. Momma Gretchen had to pull a stinger out of his eyelid and dose him with Benadryl.

Maybe Scooter will "keep an eye out" for bees next time. He is quick, but they were quicker :}
