The Leaves Are Changing in Maggie Valley and Waynesville!

Early morning temperatures in the 30’s last week here in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina have prompted the leaves to start their show, exhibitionists that they are.  This photo was taken in Maggie Valley Sunday (October 5th). Waynesville is also being painted with spectacularly vibrant leaves, so fire up your Airstream, or your old man, and head to the mountains to catch the show.
