Joyful Reunion at Montreat


We spent three nights camping at Montreat, basking in the glow of friendship and fun.  It was great to see our dear friends and to catch up on their lives.

Montreat is a beautiful, 4,500 acre Christian settlement tucked deep in North Carolina’s western mountains.  Purchased in 1897, the property was intended to be a mountain retreat.  Its name was ultimately shortened to Montreat.  The campground is nestled along side Greybeard Stream, beneath a dense canopy of wild rhododendrons, hardwoods, and mountain laurels.

The seven of us spent our time together rock hopping, finding beautiful things to photograph, catching salamanders and crawfish (and, of course, releasing them again!), hiking, making friendship bracelets, and eating great food.  After three fun-filled days, we again said goodbye to these precious friends.
