The road out there is nice, anyway.
Devil's Courthouse, which you probably are familiar with by now.
This one is called the Pounding Mill Overlook. That's Looking Glass Rock in the left foreground. 
Same shot with a filter to alter the sky color, so you can zoom in and see how far the rippling mountains extend.
They must have known I was coming! This was happily located right across from my favorite pizza joint, The Mellow Mushroom.
Some window glare in this shot, but it's a skeleton riding a motorcycle shop in an outfitting store featuring knives and other wilderness goods.
A common sign. The small print warms my heart. I wish I believed they really meant it: nothing is more authentic to these mountains than resistance to Federal agents, whether moonshine agents or otherwise. I fear they'd be the first ones to hand you in to a Democratic administration. Maybe not though!
It was a very pleasant afternoon with only a short visit downtown, and a long ride in the countryside each way. One of the things I don't hate about Asheville is how small it is: it's a real city for a few square miles, and then you're in the country again right away. It's crazy in town, but it's only a few miles back to freedom when you're done taking the sights.
