2007-15 Telico Lake, Tennessee
Hello All,
This certainly has been a fun week! We washed and waxed the truck, we washed and waxed the fifth-wheel, and we washed and waxed the boat! Fun--NOT! But, they sure do look better. And, it's nice to have our feet on solid ground again.
One afternoon there was a fast moving line of thunderstorms that passed through the area. That evening we ended up with the most amazing sunset. The colors were spectacular! Barb grabbed one of the cameras and walked down to the edge of the lake and captured some wonderful photos. On some she used the flash to highlight leaves in the foreground for a really nice effect--hence the picture of the week.

This spring we hung a couple
of birdhouses at our campsite. We were anxious to check them out when we got
back from our river cruise. What new residents would we find in the birdhouses?
Well, we are sad to report--NONE! It seems like we struck out. However, we have
a nesting pair under the awning of one of the slides on the fifth-wheel and
another pair nesting in the hitch of the fifth-wheel! Go figure!!
A while back we reported on our experience at the Biltmore Estate. Before we left on the boat we sent a scorching letter to them expressing our displeasure with their less than honest advertising and high ticket prices. Well, we've got to give them their due. We received a very professional letter from them apologizing for their personnel not informing us of the damage to the gardens. They also refunded the money we spent for admission. And, to try to regain our trust in them they enclosed two admission tickets that we can use any time in the next 12 months.
Until next time,
Dave & Barb
