Asheville, North Carolina Permalink.

7/19/11; 8:55:41 PM by AC

Another late night, almost midnight, but still wanted to get a quick update in.

We broke up camp early this morning and headed further south toward Asheville North Carolina, with a short detour to Salem Virginia to meet up for lunch with James from FreeHollowBooks.com. He looked nothing like I imaged him. After having enjoyed his Hollowed books and homegrown tobacco, I fully expected braided grey ponytail and rimmed glasses. Nothing could be further from the clean cut all american guy who we dined with at the Blue Apron. A great restaurant! I had a grilled skirt steak that was the best I've ever tasted!

A picture named scenicOverlookthumb.jpgAfter coffee we flew down I-81 at Ms Micky's usual pace that equals 1mph for the total route number, then I took over for the mountain climb up I-26. We stopped at a 'scenic overlook' to let the engine cool down a bit. Whoever makes those scenic overlooks needs their head examined. What a waste of money. Pics to follow as promised.

Our hosts in Asheville are Stuart Greene and his lovely family, who opened up their home to us for hot showers and a cool drink before heading to downtown Asheville for another meetup with some great No Agenda producers who came from far and wide again to enjoy a meal, and good cheer. Once again, I'm blown away by the diversity of the audience, their passion for country and the dream... of just gettig by (sarcasm intended)

I'm so tired now I have to stop. Up early to get to Charlotte Charleston at a reasonable hour. I'll write more when Ms Micky has the wheel again :-)

(ps) Here is a map with our route through Virginia to North Carolina
