| Surprise trip to Hot Springs In August 1988 my husband, Gene, turned 30. I planned a surprise camping trip to Hot Springs for 17 people, and didn’t tell him about it until right before we took the trip. The National Forest Service campsite at Hot Springs in Madison County is beautiful. It is on a jig of the Appalachian Trail, with primitive facilities. We went whitewater rafting on the French Broad River with the Nantahala Outdoor Center and had a great time. Everyone still talks about the thunderstorm that came through on our last night there. It just echoed through those mountains and left everything so clean and sparkly the next morning. Elizabeth Chalk |
