Amy-thank you for the card I received of a covered bridge near Charlotte, North Carolina. We enjoy scouting out covered bridges when we travel.

Thank you Cyn for the Chattanooga/Bigfoot card. That looks like my cousin, Aristille. I noticed he's gotten his hair done since I last saw him wink

And Thank you Amy for the PC from Great Smokey Mountains National Park. Mrs. C and I have been to Natural Bridge several times, but not since the state took it over. I'm interested in seeing how it has changed. Hopefully, you got a chance to have lunch at the Pink Cadillac Diner, which is only a short distance up Rte 11.

Thank you, Cyn, for the beautiful See Rock City postcard. I'd love to see that in person. 
 

Thanks, Jacci, for the beautiful beach scene. Even though Jersey has a ton of beaches I haven't had a chance to get to any of them yet.

Only Two have been  received  out of over ten I sent in this swap.  I also mailed to a few PBS members who did not sign up for this swap....of course, their postcards have arrived!

Jeanne's Roadrunner postcard arrived. Thank you for the card and the creative haiku, Jeanne! I loved our trip to Florida Caverns State Park. The trip from Palm Beach County took 6+ hours plus a time zone change. I've never been to the Panhandle before. It was noticeably different than South Florida. Much less crowded and no palm trees, lol!

Thanks to Jeanne for the card of Granite Peak in Montana. I hate the dry thunderstorms too and it has been dry here as well. Hope it isn't too hot in Myrtle Beach.

Thanks to Amy for the card and yes, I've been to the Cradle of Forestry a few times. It is an amazing place so I am glad you enjoyed your trip :-)

Thanks to Cyn for the postcard of the Rock City Birdhouse.  I wish it were open so birds could really roost in it.

And to Towana for the postcard of Niagara Falls.  Did you prefer the Canadian side just for the fireworks?

The postcards I sent was for the July postcard swap was Niagara Falls, Maryland, etc.   

Please post your postcards there going forward (July swap). 

I liked the Canada side because the fall is so much beautiful.  The firework is over the US falls but you see the firework if you on the US or Canada side.
