Banner Elk - Our Day in Linville

We drove to Linville one day to visit the caverns and falls. We also ate at this great hole-in-the-wall restaurant where our food was cooked in one county, the waitresses picked it up in another country, and we ate in a third!

One thing that I learned about myself in the caverns, I have turned into a claustrophobe in my old age...even though we found a giant pickle in the cavern. Eeeek!

We all hiked up to two different lookouts to view the beautiful multi-tiered Linville Falls and gorge. Despite the massive downpour that the last of our group got caught in when hiking back from the third lookout, it was a highlight of the trip.
