(Sorry, let me try this again.)

Driving up I26 north from Saluda towards #Asheville we passed and later were passed by a large open truck from the Charlotte Fire Department. It wasn't until we were next to it that I saw the back was completely packed full of kids' bicycles and helmets!

They are clearly bringing them to our area, to hand out to children who have lost a lot due to #Helen, and what an incredibly nice thing to do.

They passed us on the way, so I finally got some pictures, but it was a construction area so I didn't honk and wave. Thank you, #CharlotteFD!!

Just one photo from The Park at Flat Rock, a converted golf course now a very nice walking park in, yes, Flat Rock NC.

All the trails are again open after #Helene and most of the destruction is not as visible (a couple of piles of large tree trunks remain, plus the mess here along King Creek.)

It makes a nice hour-long wander when one just needs a flat surface. Cold this morning, so little company.
