Weather Delays

Well, after watching extensive coverage of the "Frankenstorm" headed toward the east coast, we cancelled our beach reservations and are rearranging our plans for the Fall Foliage Tour.  If the winds are what they are saying to expect, most of the leaves will be blown off the trees this weekend anyway.

We had planned a little trip down memory lane.  A couple days in Morehead City and a review of our roots.  I was born in Cherry Point, NC and Gini remembers it fondly.  It would have been nice to eat a meal at the Sanitary Fish Market.  I was going to copy down the hush puppy recipe off the sampler on the wall...

But--best laid plans and all that.

Instead, we will go back to Lake Gaston and Roanoke Rapids Lake.  We had only scheduled half a day to see them both and they were so lovely, I think the possibilities are endless.  We will map a few properties and do a circuit of the lakes to see if there's enough 'blue water' to suit everyone.

Then we will head back west to my son's house.  Hopefully, this will keep us out of most of the bad weather.  There are three or four lakes we can day trip out from Charlotte to view.  They were not on our original inventory, but they come highly recommended by the locals, so we'll be off.

I don't have any pictures yet today.  It's foggy outside and appears to be a lousy day for both driving and foliage.  If we see anything spectacular, I'll post it later.
