Weekend Wanderings - Montreat in Fall

Boathouse
Mom had to run to the post office in Black Mountain the other day and decided to stop in Montreat, a tiny village nestled in a mountain cove on Lake Susan.  The town revolves around Montreat College and Conference Center.  The college with its stone buildings and serene campus, provides such a lovely setting no matter what the season but this day it was spectacular!

    Those are some pretty colors for sure. We sure don't have much color down here but maybe in a day or so.
    That is a really nice place. Take care.
