A View from the Heart of a Wooded Mountain

Transylvania County Court House, probaly one of the prettiest I have seen. Situated in Brevard, the town where she is Camp Councellor, they have a Blog so I can see how things are going over there in the Blue Ridge Mountains, home of forestry in the USA. It is a town with a rich history and magnificent scenery.

"Nestled in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina, lies beautiful Transylvania County. Literally meaning "across the woods", there is no more appropriate name for this area as the visitor is instantly awed by the intense foliage that dominates the County."

I hope she enjoys the time in this wonderful part of America. We await her return in September to hear of her amazing adventure, hopefully she will start sending some photos she promised to take with her digital over there.

I think the following quote sums up what I wish for her as she follows one of her dreams...

"This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy." Susan Polis Schutz
