The High Hampton is a country club nearby. It's actually just down in the valley below us--a short golf cart ride away. After reading Harry Potter all day, we decided to head down there for lunch because we couldn't find Drew's car keys. Drew and I took turns driving and made it there just in time before the food shop closed. We got some hot dogs and then went out on the lake. We originally wanted a paddleboat but the ones that were left were broken, so we stepped into a canoe (almost flipped over when Drew got in) and paddled around for a bit. After a while we just went back and drove the cart back up the big hill (almost getting stuck along the way) and now we're about to go to Ingles, (pronounced like the suffix -ing, not like the Spanish word) the grocery store chain that's prevalent here in NC, to rent the first Harry Potter movie. Sorry that was a ridiculously long sentence. Anyway, here are the pictures (and a movie of us trying to make it up the hill in the golf cart).

Drew told me to try to convince people this was a 90ft drop--it's only about 20ft and it's the dam that keeps the water in the man-made lake we were paddling around
