See you somewhere, I'm sure.

Chimney Rock Park Web Album

Ok.. I've tried out the new Picasa web album. Click the link above, and you'll see more images from Chimney Rock Park than you'd ever want to see!

This will be handy for events where we want to show more photos than Blogger will allow to be uploaded.

Remember that all images are Copyright Shot On Site Photography. Try and leave them where they are.

More from Chimney Rock Park.

Don't know about you, but I think waterfalls just look better in black and white.
 

Touristas at Chimney Rock Park

After Dog's Camp, we stayed a few days in Asheville to be tourists. Not wanting to be completely middle class, (and not wanting to spend $80!), we blew off Biltmore Estate, and went to Chimney Rock Park, (Near Bat Cave, NC). This is Chimney Rock. It's up there... about 2300 feet. Manmade Lake Lure can be seen in the background. The trails go even higher... probably around 3500 feet; maybe more.












But first we took the low trail, with Rally and Fanny, to the base of the 400' Hickory Nut Falls.






..and did the self-timer family portrait thing.



Interesting fact: Chimney Rock Park stood in for upstate New York in the, mostly unmemorable film, Last of the Mohicans.

Odd, with all this mountainous grandeur...

...this is my favorite shot of the day.

I'll post a link to the Picasa web album when I give it a try, so there will be many, many more Chimney Rock images.

The Dog's Camp..

So, you ask, what's the deal with this "dog camp" that you have to go to every year, and can't do our specialty?? Huh? Just what about it??!!?

Well.. those infernal "clickers" aside.. The Dog's Camp is mostly about fun..








and love,



of all kinds. And that's about it.


There are a few thousand more images at our web site, if you really want to get a feel about what it's like.

"Are You Still Alive!!??"

Watch this movie, and you'll know why I consider NASCAR to be completely lame. Rally:Real cars, on real roads, going real fast!

Foodies Rejoice!

I recently read a piece in our RV Club magazine about an internet discussion site called chowhound.com . It's a sort of craigslist for food-loving people who want to avoid the Olive Gardens and Appleby's out there.

I was searching for information on our favorite Asheville restaurant, Salsa's, (no web site, but here is the chowhound.com information on it.) It turns out my friend Steve, from Charlotte, didn't steer us wrong 3 years ago when he recommended it. It's the number one recommended Asheville restaurant on chowhound.

But, I digress. For people like us, (and other dog people that travel extensively), it's a great resource. Check it out.
