Linville Falls Trip – Day 3

18 June 2017

Finally, a great night’s sleep! I dozed off sometime after 9:30 pm and didn’t wake until 6 am. It was bliss. No stomping in the overhead and no noisy neighbors in the next room. I have the entire second floor to myself. Stephen kindly offered to have someone tromp around in the attic to make me feel more like the Savannah stay but I demurred.

After breakfast and two cups of coffee, Jimmie, Stephen and I headed to the Greensboro Arboretum.

The city, according to Stephen, converted some regions in the town into parks to help control excessive runoff from storms. There are several parks in town in flood plains and this one space was converted into the arboretum. This is a narrow strip along a busy road that is perfect for drainage mitigation and a public park at the same time.

The arboretum is well laid out with both paved and I paved pathways. It also has excellent signage. I would estimate 80-90% of the plantings were labeled and easily read from the pathways.

After the arboretum, we adjourned to McDonalds for iced coffee. Later, we headed to the Weatherspoon Art Gallery to see their collection. It’s a part of the University of North Carolina, Greensboro and is a very neat little museum, also with classroom space for students.

One exhibit at the Weatherspoon was paper art by Greensboro residents. My favorite was by Steven M. Cozart who interviewed people and drew them during their interviews on paper bags. The bottoms of the paper bags had quotations from each interview as their captions.

Didactic for Cozart.

Tomorrow, I head to Linville Falls for three night of, in all probability, soggy camping. Stephen and Jimmie have better sense and are staying at Linville Lodge. We’ll do short day hikes while there.

There is a distinct possibility the next few days will be blogless because of lack of signal strength to do the posting.  Whenever I get a signal, I’ll post but it may be a few days lag.

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
