Greetings from Asheville, NC

  We are in Asheville, NC today Saturday 9/28. We arrived yesterday, Friday 9/27 about 4 PM after spending three days at the KOA Staunton/ Walnut Hills in Virginia. We left at 9:14 AM- our earliest departure time yet! We took interstate 81 south to I-26 east which took us through the eastern part of Tennessee. It was a spectacular drive. The view rivals that of the Skyline Drive. Gorgeous green mountains that went to an elevation of over 3300 feet and lush emerald valleys. The roadway was flawless until we entered North Carolina where it became more Pennsylvania like.
  We checked in at French Broad River Campground and we are right on the bank of the river. It is the most rustic campground we have stayed at so far. Nothing fancy here. Once again we met some nice people next to us who were leaving today. Everyone else appears to be full time residents. We will be here for a week so we can finally get our mail sent to us. It has been over two weeks since we left PA so getting mail will be like getting a present. You don't know what you're going to get until you see what you got. Since we are on this beautiful river I will have to try my angling skills. The proprietor said it holds smallmouth; I love smallmouth because they hit hard and once you find them they are plentiful.

 

These are pix from my phone. I don't think I can insert ones from my camera. Maybe I will try a lower resolution. I will be taking pictures with both so I can let you all see the sights.
