\tDianne, Gary, Peggy and I hopped in Charlotte and took a spin around Advance to take in the sights. Unfortunately, there are few man-made sights in this area other than some spectacular old houses (still with lousy foundations) but the foliage is beautiful.
\n\tWe did find something called the \u201cBullhole\u201d which formerly was the dam and waterworks for a textile mill that is still visible but quite closed. The Bullhole is the section of a river below a large masonry gravity dam which has water pouring over the top creating nifty little waterfalls. There were about 30 turtles sunning themselves on the rocks and a few visitors wading or fishing in the river. It is no Hoover Dam but it is a neat area nonetheless and if I lived in this rural part of NC, I would be lounging around the Bullhole quite frequently.
\n\tGary and Dianne had to depart around dinner time to get back to work the next day so we gave them a farewell sniff and they split. They called about two and a half hours later indicating they were back home in Greenville which makes me think Gary might have exceeded the posted speed limit on the freeway. Very naughty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
