BMLGA MEMBER-GUEST-JUNE 29TH

At 8:00 A.M., it was so foggy, you couldn't even see the fairway on #1. Then, there was a short spot of light drizzle, and things went well, til my foursome was playing #11. It was sunny in the front, and a big black cloud was coming behind us, but disappeared. Just a few more drops on our last hole. Roz Kaplan and Diane Hunter did a wonderful job planning this event. The Brunch food was delicious, the play with three different formats was very interesting, and our after play lunch was outstanding. A good time was had by all!

WHERE ARE OUR FLOWERS?

I have lived here for 18 summers. In the beginning, people would stop their cars and comment on my beautiful flowers. I just took a picture of my Daylilly Garden. There are a few buds, and I have put on the spray, and have metal ornaments, but the Deer come by anyway. Yesterday, I stopped for four young Deer to cross the road. Today, I stopped for 6!!!! Is it not time for the town to control feeding and thin the flock? There is going to be a Town Council meeting on July 13 at 6 P.M., and I think the Deer problem is going to be discussed. I plan to be there. Bambi is out of control in our community!

BMC HIKE TO CARVERS GAP-JUNE 24TH

This is my most favorite hike. Beautiful views and balds. There were 18 participants and it was led by Janelle Gamez with Randy Banwart driving and staying with our slower crowd. Check out the pictures. The only thing missing this year were the Rhodo's. The BMC bus is sitting way down in the parking lot. Lunch is always eaten on a big rock, and then we went up a little further to see the goats. We stopped at the Roan Mtn Visitors office, and met rhodyjanemeadows who has programs on Roan to have fun and learn to play a little music. Next weeks hike will be to the Boone Fork Trail. It is a 4.9 mile loop. The degree of difficulty is moderate. Call the Rec Dept to sign up for all hikes. 387-4208 EXT 229. Hiking shoes are good to wear. A stick is a very handy aid, and bring lunch and water.
