Misty Mountains

Years ago, we had friends who tried to get a bed-and-breakfast started out of their large and beautiful home. They christened their business "Misty Mountain Lodge" and, for a variety of reasons, it was not a financial success and they closed down. (There are several Misty Mountain Lodges currently in existence around the country, but none are operated by these friends.)

Anyway, at the time I thought "Misty Mountain Lodge" was something of an unusual name since our mountains weren't particularly misty.

The same can't be said for our current location. We have a lot of mist here. A LOT, especially in cooler months. As evidence, consider the following photos:




Bonus photo: Believe it or not, there is a whole flock of turkeys on the road in this photo. By the time I got my camera out of my pocket, they had moved juuuuust out of sight through the fog.

Should Don and I ever consider opening a B&B (which we won't), we could at least name it Misty Mountain Lodge and have truth in advertising.

  1. Stunningly beautiful photos.
    Thank you for sharing!
    No, I wouldn't own a B&B either. My husband and I are hospitable but private.
