Every year on July Fourth, Lake Blue Ridge gives a fantastic fireworks show to celebrate our nation's independence! Watch from the Blue Ridge Dam, Morganton Point, on the lake, or surrounding areas to watch the sparks fly! | The MemoriesOur 1st day: We are a family of 11, ranging in ages from 7 months to 65 years.

So far, everything is lovely. Not a lot of plans for today, we are enjoying being together. Our 2nd and 3rd day: Last night was a good night. The air up in these mountains is very fresh. We had a great day! It was my night to cook and I prepared chili, 10" burrito bake, and tacos. Afterwards, we played cards and then Monopoly well into the night. We admired the breathtaking view while sitting on the deck. Also, just a few miles from here is a little diner called Pat's Kountry Kitchen. They have great food! Our 4th day: We spent time at the apple orchard today. It is a very nice place to visit! Later back at the cabin, we cooked shrimp and grits. At the end of the day we spent time around the campfire. Thank you for the wonderful stay! We rented both Outlaw Ridge and RiverView Lodge for our Family Gathering. Both houses are spacious with 5 master bedrooms each.

We rented both Outlaw Ridge and RiverView Lodge for our Family Gathering. Both houses are spacious with 5 master bedrooms each. We had a fabulous time in the Game Rooms, TV Rooms, using the access to the Tocca River (we brought our own tubes and rafts!), plus we used the fire pit each night! The houses offer high end furnishing and bedding - each family member was thrilled! We will cherish our time at these 'cabins' and hope to return soon! |
