We spent a night of our honeymoon there in 1994. I was pretty sure it was owned by the Park Service. Maybe not. The employees sure acted like Gov. employees.
For various reasons we weren’t impressed.
The setting is gorgeous, right at the base of Mt. Pisgah. Beautiful vistas.
And for birders, it’s in a location that is part of the raptor migration flyway.
I heard 2nd hand that here in Wisconsin, they *shut down* the flyways.
Those darned birds have got to be Tea Partiers, right? Not to mention: just how do you convince the birds not to migrate? (Yeah, I know: they mean shut down to the tourists and birders, but they can just walk along the other side of the road and take the same pictures from State and private property.)
