Bass Lake - Cone Manor in Blowing Rock, NC: Part 1

We took a number of late afternoon hikes at the Bass Lake in the first two weeks of October.  We were there for our usual fall vacation.  The first two days were foggy and rainy because of the rain system the southeast had for two weeks.  After that, though, we had some of the most beautiful weather we've ever had there.

They were rebuilding the heart ponds last year so it was great to see them this year.

The stream was very full.

This was the first year we'd ever seen crayfish in the heart ponds.

 

There were a lot of wonderful mushrooms after all the rain.
