The days
are shorter. The nights are cooling off. Close your eyes, and you
might be able to smell a turkey roasting. Delicious! And in the
spirit of Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for this year’s long summer.
I’m also thankful for the fresh views that only start to appear
once the leaves have fallen. I’m extremely thankful that the
weather is nice enough that I can hit a few trails between
Halloween candy and pumpkin pie. Mostly, though, I’m thankful that
I get to enjoy all that’s on offer here in the Heart of Adventure
and share it with you, my friends.
Let’s get out there and explore it together. What do you say? We’ve
still got a few more weeks until the turkey is ready to carve.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Mid-century
style may now be shorthand for clean lines and minimal flair, but
Brevard’s Aluminum Christmas Tree Museum seeks to shine a (bright,
multi-colored, sparkly) light on some of the era’s more flamboyant
holiday styles. This impressive collection of aluminum trees,
bright lights and kitsch ornaments is a glittery fever dream of
retro style and a cherished holiday attraction.
