We took a ride over to  the town of Chimney Rock today.  There are gift shops and restaurants along the street just outside of the entrance to the State Park. We did not go into the park as we did not feel like doing any hiking today and the rain was getting ready to move in again today. We drove over to Lake Lure from here and had lunch at The Bayfront Bar and Grill. I pulled off the road a few times and was able to get some photographs of the Broad River.
