Ski Trip to WinterPlace

Trailblazers went skiing, snowboarding, and tubing at Winterplace. We "camped" at the Beckley YMCA.

There are pictures somewhere...

Lock in at the Lexington Y

We ate BBQ at Porky D's and watched some movies.

Caroling

Caroling at Lexington Extended Care is an annual tradition.

James Island County Park

This trip to see the Christmas lights at James Island County Park is a Trailblazer favorite.

Surely there must be pictures...

Rennaissance Festival

Ronnie and Joe hosted this outing to a Rennaisance Festival in Charlotte.

Patriot's Point

This was a day trip to Charleston to see the maritime part at Patriot's Point and to go to the beach at Isle of Palms (?). We also had a great meal on the way home at Shem Creek.

Whitewater Rafting onthe French Broad River

We paddled the French Broad River with French Broad River Expeditions (?). The river was very low (450CFS) but was still boatable and we had fun. Because of the level we were limited to the shorter run from Barnard to Stackhouse.

We camped at Rocky Bluff, a Forest Service campground up the road from Hot Springs. Info here : http://www.cs.unca.edu/nfsnc/recreation/RockyBluff.pdf

We had a great dinner at the Smoky Mountain Diner in Hot Springs.
