I was just up in Chimney Rock for an over night. I took Sugar Hill Rd. into Chimney Rock and it was a beautiful road. That is exit 81 off of I40. Sad and more shocking than the pictures! I spent the night and ate at one of the 2 restaurants that are now open. Nothing open for breakfast. The only way to get to Asheville is to go south to I74 or loop back to Marion. Bat cave is still closed and the crossroads there are still closed. No access to Fairview. I wrapped it up with a stop in Asheville and toured Biltmore as well as Black Mountain to Asheville on route 70.
I rode part of the BRP up to the Haw Creek overlook. Below this overlook is where I grew up.
The next day I went to Asheville and met the Tuesday lunch bunch. Larry Rosenberg, my childhood best friend, then let me know that his sister Ellen Sue died on Nov. 1 st. Unexpectedly. So I stayed over for the funeral.
Not what I would call a fun trip.
