CIDER

One of the high light of My stay at Lake Lure N. C. was
an outing to a local apple farm in the mountains. There were
three Red Cross Nurses that had been overseas there so they
tried to plan interesting entertainment for us while we were
there.
A trip was planned to an apple farm where we picked
apples and then crushed them in a cider mill to make cider.
The juice was then stored in gallon jugs and put into a cold
spring house through which a cold spring creek ran.
We had drank all the fresh juice we wanted and departed
for the resort hotel we were housed in with a promise that we
would return before we were shipped out to another base. We
did return in about three weeks and enjoyed the cold cider we
had made. It didn't have time to get "hard" but was very good
anyway. Where ever we went there were always nice people to
make friends with.
