I have been in a leaf peeping mood and while my Facebook post asking friends to join me got ZERO response (I know!) I was not discouraged in the least.
Today we had to go in and get my annual blood test and Ben and Chan had orthodontist appointments. Chan needs a new retainer, I really feel ONE replacement should be built in to the cost. But no, we go back in 2 weeks and it's full price. UGH I need some kind of sponsorship, like I will put a sticker on their head if some dealership will cover the oral care bills.
We hung out in town a while afterward, picked up some stuff at Fresh Market, had lunch at Taziki's. I had the spanokopita wraps. I always call it 'spank-o-peeta' so I was glad to be able to say, "Today's special." They were yummy.
On the way home, I took the long and winding route, over Yellow Bluff and up the back way through Crawford Bottoms and Gum Pond. It was lovely!

| These trees are all over, they usually mark boundaries between 2 pieces of land or in the past, indicated a trailhead or turn. This was RIGHT by the cave, so maybe it just grew that way. Seems like a cave full of water would be an easier landmark to locate! |
