We spent the last 5 days at Wilson's RV Campground in Asheville. Now Wilson's is not what you (or I) would call a state of the art stop. But the Park backs onto the Broad River, and is a nice place to sit and relax, while watching the kayak's and canoes roll by. No stop in Asheville would be complete without a trip downtown and to the Biltmore area. Mike and I along with the pups, took a walk around the area (Dusty cat opted to stay in the air conditioning..now that's one smart cat!!!). We took off for a day trip to Sheffield Mines, so I could find some more gems, in the car went Mike and I along with the pups, after finding the Mine (not an easy task), we were told there was a 3 hour wait!!!!!!!!..suggest if anyone decides to go,be sure to arrive at 10 am when they open. So not being ones to be put off, we got back on the road and traveled to Cherokee,NC.
Alright now, in the middle of Cherokee, there is a CASINO!!!!!!!!!!!...Harrah's Cherokee, beautiful hotel and great casino. While Mike (bless his heart) entertained the pups, yours truly hit the slot machines. Actually walked away with $300.00!!!!!!! On the ride back to Asheville we took the Blue Ridge Parkway, what an incredible drive. The mountains and the valleys are breathtaking, and the views from the overlooks are amazing. Next day we were off to Black Mountain,NC. A great stop, an old town with great shops, and old architecture. The town is very pet friendly and we actually had lunch , with the pups sitting next to us.
We left Asheville this morning and are in Mt Airy, NC. Tomorrow MAYBERRY!!!!!!!!!!!
