Rocks and Gems

Ghost Town liftYesterday, August 8, 2008, I drove through Maggie Valley doing errands, camera attached at the hip. It was easy to find things to do and see in Maggie Valley, but the one spot I skipped completely was the Wedding Chapel.

Ghost Town signGhost Town in the Sky's parking lot was quite full of vehicles. The lifts (on right) were running non-stop and the weather was quite beautiful. Hard to believe that soon the weather will be changing and the 'leaf-looking' season will be upon us.

There were quite a few people at the Maggie Valley GlassRock Shop and Gem Mine, sifting through sand to find treasurers, and sorting through the chunks of earth laid out on numerous tables. The tables full of big chunks of glass were especially appealing to me because of the colors.

Rocky

The little kitty in the cage at the Rock Shop and Gem Mine, who I have since named Rocky, was one of two hiding in the cage, while Mama kitty was out wandering by herself.

While visiting Jude's Coffee and Creamery for a little something to cool me off, I met a couple from Florida who got married in the little wedding chapel in Maggie Valley!  Hopefully 08/08/08 will be their lucky day.

By my estimations, that's about as far east as the wild west gets.
