Three day getaway before returning to Fletcher to finally try to achieve insure VivalaVida in my name. Nearly four weeks of endless steps and still nothing!<\/p>\n

So to change my mind, I started with two days to North Mills River in a \u00ab\u00a0primitive campground\u00a0\u00bb spread along a \u00ab\u00a0dirt road\u00a0\u00bb forest on the banks of the Mills River. I took the opportunity to make two great moutainbike rides, one with Jonathan and Janet, a couple who came in a nearby location in an ambulance transformed into camper.

\nSaturday evening, I wanted to meet a part of the team met on the 4×4 weekend 4×4 in Hot Springs. Nice evening in a Live Music pub with a few glasses of cider. Sunday, I went up to Max Patch, a summit of the Appalachian which has the distinction of being peeled. No one really knows why, a fire destroyed the trees from top hundred years ago and since the forest has not recolonized. There is thus a meadow surrounded by forest that make me think to the Ard\u00e8che, chestnut less. While the sunset seemed promising, bad weather announced Monday arrived two hours early, ruining my wait on the summit anyway nicer and windy…
