High Falls Covered Bridge in DuPont Forest
Buck Forest Road, Hendersonville, NC


"The Covered Bridge was constructed in the late 1990s as part of a planned, gated Cliff's Community housing project. The founders of Friends of DuPont Forest launched a successful campaign to save the waterfalls from development. When the waterfall corridor (the area that includes Triple Falls, High Falls, and Hooker Falls) became State land, the bridge was included."


How the heck do folks take selfies that look normal and don't look like you do have 500 chins??! I mean right, come on now??! LOL!! What a fun hike, a bit hard to find the attractions you do wish to see though, we did ask multiple folks to be sure we were headed in the right direction. So many weird looking paths, I don't know if folks were trying to confuse us Virginians or what??! I can recall when this trip was November 2023. We were celebrating our anniversary the day of this hike. The area of NC that we were visiting was having multiple locations with wildfires going on ...and we could hear a helicopter flying over going to and from getting water from the local lake to try and help with the rescue measures. So sad ...I do think it is extremely tough when you are looking for info online to find it once you have left the local area where was the fire was ... why does the news you wanna hear ...so tough to find these days?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still lots of fall colors, we really lucked out in the year of 2023 ...to be able to see multiple states going through their fall seasons ...up state PA, then Virginia and then finally North Carolina ...thankfully they wait for us to get there and we didn't miss it. Can you imagine missing AUTUMN just a perfect time of the year to enjoy. love it. Have a great day. Thank you kindly for your visit. Hope all is well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

A covered bridge in the 1990’s? Well, that’s different! Love that waterfall!

My selfie trick is to hold the phone high and tilt my chin up.

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get ...

( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you...
