So, yes! I'm back. Been back since Saturday but have been busy. Vacation was so so so lovely and very needed. I love the north Geogia/North Carolina area more than anywhere else in the world (so far), and moving there and permanently settling there eventually is definitely my goal.

ANYWHO, here I come to bore you to death with pictures of mountains and trees and STUFF.





One of the many views from our cabin.





Sneaky sister taking a sneaky picture is sneaky!



The front.



Very much noted.



And then the sun came out and I was all alsdkjfals;d!!



Ridiculously steep hill to more cabins.



Lololol at one of the places where we went hiking we had to "forge" the Hiawassee River. Good thing our ox didn't die and our wagon didn't get swept away by the rapids.



Early morning picture of fog sunken in the valley.





A super intense game of Settlers: Cities and Knights. Good thing it wasn't Dutch Blitz. It would have been an all out war. (And if you've ever played either, especially the latter, you are awesome.)



OMG DRIVING AND ROCK WALLS AND STUFF.



Ugh ugh ugh ughagl;kd;alhaowiejas;dfaskl.



I think this is I-64 north. Windy, steep, hairpin-turn road through the mountains to get to North Carolina.



Huuuge gorge just off the side of the road.



In Cashiers, North Carolina, a small, touristy, cutesy, health-conscious spit of a town.



CHRISTMAS TREES.





UGHAGH;LAIADJDFLASDLAKSDJF.





OMFG A PIGGLY WIGGLY.



Sunrise, the morning we were leaving.





The hike to Raven Cliff Falls.







Haha I love this pic. My cousins trying to figure out what the heck made such weird claw marks in the tree.



Me, my sister, and my cousin.













John Wayne likes Christmas. And tight pants.



This is at, umm... High Shoals Falls, I think. When we finally hiked down to the bottom, the sun was in just the right position at the top of the falls, and the water droplets in the air made for a really cool effect.











Another waterfall in the same area.



Holy good Lord I loved the trees and forest floor and sun here.





So so so so pretty. IT'S WHERE I BELONG, DAMMIT. ;_;

ALSO ALSO like, an hour ago, Percy was on my desk and suddenly JERKED UP like a dog on point AND THIS IS WHAT HE WAS STARING AT OMG:



N'AWWWW



HAHAHAAHAHA STARING CONTEST





SO PRESH OMG.

SO SO, last night I went out drinking with some coworkers and a few other people. Two Yuenglings down and I was asking people for things to drink to so I could quickly finish my third. Anthony Bourdain, Ewan McGregor, corn chips, you know. So I'm finally on my last sip, and I asked for a really good one. The guy who I sort-of-kind-of have a crush on goes, "How about to the finest weed in the Southfarthing?" Cue me going all high-pitched and demanding I clink glasses with him. Heeeeeee.

Wendigos. Good thing they have Winchesters in stock near by!

Also, John Wayne's pointy nipples are creeping me out even more than his tight pants. D:

OMG family of deer in the nature preserve area!!! *_*
Final comment: I recommend makeouts with that kid before you move. Get to it!

[identity profile] caithream.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
HAHAH YES. Why didn't I think of that!

Ewww yes! WHY WOULD THEY EVEN MAKE A JOHN WAYNE STATUE WITH POINTY NIPPLES. DDD:

Heeee Danielle said the same thing! He's SUCH a ladies man, though. But so sweet. Perhaps I shall just buy him us a bottle of Jack and SEE WHAT HAPPENS, HA HA HA.

I THOUGHT PIGGY WIGGLYS WERE JUST URBAN LEGENDS?!


In other news, very pretty. My mom lives in upstate NY and it looks like that in the fall. Even lives by a long creek complete with waterfalls. It's pretty to drive through during each season, but man, being that far out? Count me the hell out.

[identity profile] caithream.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
NOPE! I, LIKE THE WINCHESTERS, PROVE THAT SUCH URBAN LEGENDS ARE, IN FACT, FOR REALZ.

Ooh, upstate NY has to be GORGEOUS in the fall. Maybe not so much in the winter, haha. But yeah, even where we were, there's just tiny towns dotting the surrounding areas. After living in two very huge cities my entire life, it's quite a culture shock.

Wowwwwww! Awesome pictures! So tranquil and cool! Love the waterfall shots with the sun - total win!

John Wayne totally creeps me out, lol.

And the staring contest, ahahaha! Awesome.

Thank you thank you! I liked them quite a bit myself. :D

LOL RIGHT?? The nipples and the tight pants... I don't know, man.

♥!

Every time I go up there I am floored by the pretty!
