For several years now my much-older siblings, Bill & Bobbie, have been getting together for Martin Luther King, Jr. Weekend. I'm not sure if they go to parades or prayer services or if it's just because they both have that Monday off. We made plans to meet Bobbie & David and Bill & Kent for lunch in Brevard. Brevard is a smallish town (but bigger than Black Mountain) about an hour from here and is known for its white squirrels. They even have an annual White Squirrel Festival. We met for lunch at Dugan's Irish Pub. It was highly recommended by David and his biker friends. We all had a filling lunch and a pint then decided to go for a hike to walk it off. We went to Moore Cove Falls in the Pisgah National Forest. It was about a mile hike round-trip. The falls were very pretty this time of year with the ice & snow. The creeks all have ice in them, too. It was sunny and in the low 40s so was a great day for a hike. After the hike we stopped at nearby Looking Glass Falls to see it with ice and snow. We have been to these falls several times and is a favorite for taking out-of-towners to who prefer not to hike to see waterfalls. You barely have to get out of the car to see them. After that we went back to Brevard for coffee so Robert could wake up for the drive home, then parted ways. I drove home and Robert slept. He must've had decaf.
You could go into a cavern to view the falls from behind.
