I ...You could add Blue Ghosts to your bucket list.<br /><br />I just found your blog and enjoyed reading about your adventures. My husband & I also have a Roadtrek RS Adventurous (going on 2 ½ years) and have just retired this year. Now we have more time to travel. You are traveling in our area (Southeast) so will be looking forward to reading about the different places you go. After reading your blog, we’ve added a couple of campgrounds to our bucket list.<br /> I want to tell you about a unique campground in the NC Mountains. Its Ash Grove Resort Cabins and Camping in Brevard, NC. It’s a small campground & the owners are really nice. What is unique about it is, you can hike down a small trail and SEE the Blue Ghosts. Blue Ghosts are a type of firefly that are quite different from the typical fireflies you normally see at night. They usually can be seen mid-May to mid-June. We stayed at Ash Grove 2 years ago for 3 nights and we only saw the Blue Ghosts one of the nights. They were amazing.<br /> You have the regular lightening bugs that come out at dusk. To see the Blue Ghosts, you hike down the trail to where the tent campers are. They come out at about 9:30 (ours came out at 9:30 on the dot). They are smaller than the usual fireflies and they light up and stay lit from several seconds to 20 or more seconds. They hover about 1 foot above the forest floor and just float along. It looks like a ghost is carrying a candle and all you see is the blue flame. Then it flickers out and another ghost lights his candle. There are only a few places you can see them.<br /><br />Theresa M<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17250908513673442369noreply@blogger.com
