Our New Toys!

Below you will find what we've spent out hard earned money on. First, it was time Marketa got a new car. She decided on a new 2007 Ford Mustang Convertible. Second, for me I got a 2005 Ford F-150 Lariat. We came to the conclusion that the Sport Trac wasn't getting any younger and was having a tough time pulling the camper. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Camping Time!

Well, we haven't updated too much since our last post. We did go to Myrtle Beach State Park to camp but someone forgot their camera...wonder who that was :-) Anyhow, below are some pictures from our last 2 camping trips. The first trip was to Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield, Virginia. Our seond trip was to Cascade Lake Recreation Area in Brevard, North Carolina. We hope you enjoy the pictures!


Our Campsite at Pocahontas State Park, only good picture I took as we spent most of our time visiting with Marketa's sister (picture will be posted when Marketa gets around to it..hehe).

This is a picture of our campsit at Cascade Lake.

Another view of our campsite.

Marketa and Cookie sitting at the camp fire.

These next few pictures are of the waterfalls we saw. They are about 10 miles away from Cascade Lake Campground. We went hiking on Friday to find these wonderful masterpieces. They are a sight to behold and these pictures don't do them any justice. They definetly need to be seen in person to be appreciated!




This is the river that flows beside the hiking trail to the falls.

Another shot of the river.

Yet another shot of the river.

This is the first shot of Hooker Falls, the first waterfall we saw. Notice the kayakers in the picture.

Second shot of Hooker Falls, pretty spectacular waterfall despite it's size.

You guessed it, the kayakers had to go somewhere, and over the waterfall it was. Quite an interesting thing to see, I can only imagine what it's like to actually do it!

A sign letting us know what awaited us further down/up the trail.

This is Triple Falls, see how theres 3 waterfalls in one? The water falls 125ft from the top to the base of the waterfall.

A closer view of the 3 falls that make up Triple Falls.

The sign letting us know where High Falls were...a 15min hike up the trail...it went up 900ft in elevation.

This is High Falls, another 125ft drop from top to base. This picture is from a viewing area on the trail to the falls.

This is a view of High Falls from the base. We hiked down another trial that led to the base of the falls. Lots of people where there picnicing on the rocks (granite) and playing in the water. When i took this picture, it started thundering so we kinda hurried our way back.
