It's weird when traveling you find all kinds of things but just so happens that this time I found something I can't take back with me.

It seemed like a normal day, a day where the sun shined bright and the sky was clear, not a rain cloud to complain about. Julie wakes with a great sense of happiness and humor. She decides to ask a few of her friends to take a friend vacation to catch up on all the good times and take more adventures with lots of photos. It was time Julie thought to herself, she'd been working so hard these last few months.

After a quick breakfast, she puts on an old pair of shorts and a white tank top that is a couple of sizes bigger than her. She planned to run a little and make a few calls to invite the girls, only two of her best friends. The exercise was her second thing to do after she ate breakfast. She knew a place in North Carolina where they could stay in cottages out in the woods, she'd book it all even if the girls didn't agree. She grabbed her belongings and headed out to run, the cold air hitting her as soon as she walked out into the yard. It felt amazing for some reason and made her think how much work she's been putting in lately, how much she wanted to be free.

It wasn't long before a warm breeze came over the mountain, Julie could feel it in her bones. She set her earbuds in and dialed the first number as she started to run around the neighborhood. When she got through to them she said she'd call a half hour or so later. They agreed, and Julie said goodbye and hung up. As she ran, she hummed to herself as she played music on her phone. A couple of hours pass, and she gets tired a bit and slows down a little so she doesn't tire out too quickly. She drinks from her water bottle and continues to jog a little more, dialing the next number to reach her friend.

They hang up shortly after their initial greeting. They were going to have to call me back, but they would keep in touch.

The next person was another one of her close friends, Rachel. After talking a bit more, she said she had someone who wanted to come along as well. That would make it four of us and I didn't know how I felt about it. So of course, we went back and forth about it. But I eventually agreed and told her female-only adventure was a go. We set up a date, which we were all excited about.

After that, it was finally time to say hello to the Third person. Her name was Evelyn and although she was very busy with work, she was always happy for us to come over to see her, Maybe stay a few nights there and then go deeper into the Mountains of North Carolina.

I was excited about it all and the girl's agreement made it Fantastic.

We all agreed to meet in front of the restaurant at nine, and I made sure everything was going to be perfect. We all would talk for hours till we meet up.

It took almost no effort to set it up, Evelyn was happy to help me out.

Everything seemed to be going as planned, I packed light because I'm a shopper, especially when I travel. Evelyn Packed medium and essentials only. She was practical. I packed enough clothes and my hygiene kit to last a month and then some food because I knew that most of them would either go back home or end up with some other group that needed them, so I packed food I knew they could use and stuff to bring over to our cabin with three bedrooms. Since Rachel wants to bring someone she'll have to sleep alongside them and share a room. It all seemed perfect.

We said goodbye to everyone, hugged a few people, and said thank you again. All I had left to do was pick them up and head off. After driving a bit, we finally made it. We started with a hike and then we found a great path to veer off to, which by then we ended up at this large Mtn which had an opening. We were shocked.
