~A Camping Trip~

April 18th to April 20th ("May" was a typo)

We are thinking of staying at or near Linville falls.  It's either there or at Price Park and drive over the the nearby falls.  Let me know if you and/or friends want to go.  The more the merrier.  We just need to know how many so we can try to reserve enough space for everyone.  If you need a tent let me know, I have a couple or three extras. 

Linville Falls Campground, located off the Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 317, is family oriented, located next to the Linville River. It provides easy access to numerous hiking trails to some of the most beautiful scenery in the Linville Gorge area. Interpretive programs are provided on weekends during the peak recreation season. Fishing opportunities are available on the Linville River.

   

 

Julian Price Park Campground is located on the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway near Boone and Blowing Rock NC. The campground is adjacent to Price Lake. Fishing and boating are allowed. Fishing requires a state license and no motor boats are permitted. Canoe and rowboat rental is available from Memorial Day - Labor Day, and on weekends in early May, late September and the month of October. Hiking trails and trailheads are located within the campground.

   

Please RSVP as soon as possible but at least by Wednesday April 16 if interested.

That didn't take long... Regardless of their official reasons for closing on their site, I would venture to guess that the combination of charging $10 per ticket and using GSO as a major hub played a large role.

It's still a little disappointing to see GSO add and lose an airline so quickly

Spooky!, originally uploaded by ballance5702.

This is a time lapse shot I took of some friends around a bonfire in the backyard. I'm not quite sure who the uninvited guest in the tree is.  Invader Zim or the rabbit from Donnie Darko?

I finally got around to creating a blog, so here it is.  It could use some content, but I'll get around to it soon enough. 

I started as a full-time employee with Volvo IT North America earlier this month, where I had been working as a long-term contractor for just under three years.  Things are nearly as busy as they always were, but looks like we're finally going to have a bit of structure in place and maybe start doing things the right way.  Only time will tell how much of "doing things the right way" pans out, but I've got a good group of developers in my team who have some great ideas and the ambition to move on them.

On the homefront, Bridget and Roxy are both doing well.  My home's aquatic residents are most blissful and doing just great also.  Bridget's classes are going to keep her out pretty late in the evenings for a while, but soon she will be done with all her post-licensing classes and have her EcoBroker designation.  I'm proud of her new endeavors in the real estate market and think the career suits her well.

In entertainment news I have decided to become a rock star in my spare time, dusting off the strat and putting some effort into getting my fingers well calloused.  This evening I'm checking out Steady Elegance's hip-hop group "Ricardo Sanchez's Escort Service" at Greene Street in downtown Greensboro and Big Mike's gig at the same venue on Saturday night.

 And now....back to keeping this web server happy!
