Ex Hurricane Lee decided to play it tough with the US and after it made landfall in Louisiana it headed north and drenched the whole of the East Coast and especially the Blue Ridge Mountains where we were. We were hoping on Monday to go down south to Asheville, the highlight of the Blue Ridge Mountains. But the prospect of a day's driving in the pouring rain and spending the next couple of days in heavy rain put us off so we decided to stay put and spent the next three days listening to the heavy rain on the roof.

On Thursday the rain eased and we drove across North Carolina to Chapel Hill to have a service done on our fifth wheel and to meet and stay with our friend, Mary who lives in Chapel Hill.

One day we drove down to Pinehurst, in the Sandhills region where the US Golf Open is held each year. A nice area to live in. We had a lovely picnic in the city park.

This week we head in to the real South and will be visiting Charleston and Savannah.
