Day 245

As I mentioned, we left for N.C. at 2:00 am Saturday morning. That got us into Asheville at the hotel about noon Saturday. It would have been sooner but the directions from AAA left a lot to be desired this time. In their defense, they are usually very accurate but had some street names off this time. After the very friendly lady at the desk grunted that we could not check in until around 3:00, we decided to go for a drive. After a short time, we located an entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway and started heading North. If you have never had a chance to drive on the BRP, you should. After all these years in Florida, I didn't know you could drive that far without seeing a Burger King, a 7-11 or a billboard. This was taken at one of the many overlooks that are provided for viewing.
