Next we happened onto Flat Top Manor which was a summer retreat for the Moses Cone (Cone Textiles) back in the guilded age.
We found a great place to play in a stream
We had a picnic
We stopped at the Original Mast General Store
Gem Mining!
Just before our final night-time fire of the trip, these girls found a little stream on our property so we all set out on a hike to share the discovery
This picture does not convey the steepness of the this walk
I am not standing on tip toes ... that is the grade of this hill
Even though it was raining we had a another fire (much more difficult to get started) but served to warm us all in the cold rain.
The next morning we would drive back to home. That was starting to set in now but it was a wonderful retreat.
