2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,400 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 40 trips to carry that many people.

Happy New Year to All!

Thanks for a great 2011 and looking forward to 2012. Our biggest accomplishment was the new roof and windows, we’re so glad to have that behind us! Now we need to cook up some new ideas for 2012 – who know’s what’s in store for the cottage?! To all our guests, thank you for your visit and we hope to see you again soon.

Cheers,

The Miners

“The cabin is great, the view is simply amazing and the trails around the area are just great!. We are spending Christmas 2011 here and couldn’t be happier. We even tried Snowboarding and Skiing up the road at the Beech Mountain Resport. Our Border Collie Panda is loving the colder North Carolina weather, a welcome change for her from the usual South Florida Tropical weather we live in all year.

Highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking to get away to a very special place, the cabin has everything you need and more, we will hopefully be back soon, maybe even for next Christmas if it is available. Thanks for having us!”

The Upper Pond Creek Trail runs right behind our cottage. A wonderful hike full of waterfalls and natural wonders.

Upper Pond Creek Trail

An elevation change of 371 feet.

Welcome to BeechMountain’s favorite hiking trail. Built in the late 1960′s, this trail was constructed so folks in Charter Hills could walk to the recreation area. Whether you are out for a little exercise or an enjoyable walk along a creek, this trail will take you through beautiful woods. From its starting point at Perry Park, the trail travels through Charter Hills to Lake Coffey and the recreation area one mile away.

Once you arrive at Lake Coffey, you can continue down the Lower Pond Creek Trail section, which is also a one-mile hike, At Lake Coffey you can enjoy fishing (a NC Fishing License and trout stamp are required) or walking around the lake on its quarter mile paved trail.

Upper Pond Creek Trail has been designated as a nature trail. Be sure to pick up a guide at the bottom of the stairs at the trail head. Fifteen different stations are located along the trail with interesting information about creek life, trees, animals and wildflowers. Each season brings change to the trail. Winter, when the ground is covered with snow, is a good time to look for animal tracks. Spring brings wild flowers, with the Trout Lilly among the first to bloom. During late July and early August the rhododendron bloom in the shaded sections of the trail. When the leaves begin to turn in the fall, a walk down the trail can often scare up a wild turkey, white tail deer, or grouse.
