Stormy and rainy all the way, so that I can barely see the tops of the Great Smoky Mountains. They are beautiful, of course, but being from Colorado, they are more hill-sized to me. I stop at the NC welcome center so I can pick up every tourist brochure known to man and as I am coming out, it clears long enough for a lovely rainbow to appear. Good juju. We stop in Asheville for a stroll around the historic downtown and it’s just as charming as I’ve read. I am thrilled to be in a place I first read about seven years ago and always wanted to see. It reminds me a kot of Ashland, OR with the town tucked into the mountains, an upscale main-street, and a liberal, college-town vibe. Tonight’s stop in Durham will be the last for our little caravan, as my b/f and my little dog head north for wintery New England.

Glad you made it to Asheville, it’s a nice place. Bet you’re happy to be almost there and enjoying warmer temps. We’re rainy/snowy here in New England. Have a safe trip the rest of the way.
It was hard for me to get the feel for the height of the mountains in Colorado. Since the measurements based on sea level and there’s no sea anywhere near there.
