In December I shared in my Camp, Hike The Southeast blog my trip to Robbinsville, NC and my stay at Cheoah Point Campground on Santeetlah Lake. I did some hiking while there and promised to share them in a future blog. I covered the Yellow Creek Falls hike in the review for Cheoh Point Campground,…
