Dear Traveler,
You know what they say about April showers? They make May waterfalls super impressive. All this spring rain means Transylvania County’s biggest features are running at full tilt, which is always exciting for fans of a plunge (though it may still be a bit chilly for an actual plunge – your call). It’s beginning to look so much like summer that I’ve had to caution the white squirrels about sunscreen. No one wants to see those tails turn pink, after all.
May is a big month for the white squirrels. They have a whole weekend festival to get ready for. There’s also art and adventure, crafts and craft beer, fishing, great music, and loads more. It takes practice to have this much fun. Best get to work.
See you again soon, friends,
The Adventurist
