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!
  After 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)
