Orlando reopened the airport in time for Rob Matthews to fly into town as scheduled and we drove together northbound to Cherokee, NC where we met two other fraternity brothers for a week of
camping in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee.

| Our campsite in Cherokee, NC |
We had a great campsite at the gurgling creekside, sprawled across the RV, LLBean tent and dining fly including a campfire circle. After a memory lane concert by the Doobie Brothers, we enjoyed
horseback riding, lessons for panning gold, a drive along the
Blue Ridge Parkway, a
New Belgium Brewery visit, a drink at the
Grove Park Inn,
railroading, and fraternity camaraderie as we drank beer, played horseshoes and
ladder ball.

The camping fun came to an end as the other three piled into Randy's car for their road trip north and I headed to Annapolis for my 23rd?
