North Carolina Is Different Than Colorado:

 

The above photo depicts Lucy and Klaus relaxing and clearly they are settled in now. In Colorado we lived at 9,800' elevation. Here we are somewhere at 1,700' elevation.  The property here is more steep that where we were in S. Colorado but manageable. There are more rocks here but the biggest thing that I have noticed are the roads. They will run right up next to a huge cliff and they wind around with many curves. 

Those who are familiar with the roads drive pretty fast but for us it will take a lot to get comfortable on the narrow and winding roads through these mountains. The neighbors are all so friendly and our nearest neighbor actually came over and blew the leaf's off our driveway. another neighbor brought us a 6 pack of home made beer. Folks all talk to each other and are friendly. This may be a small community but it clearly a friendly one. 

I did not know communities like this existed any more but we have felt very welcome.
