First, here is our cabin just before we left John C Campbell. Notice the density of the fog.
On the road!
Once we got to Chapel Hill, we had to unload the metal. 16 pieces of 6 1/2-7 1/2-inch solid round steel cut 36-inches long. Each of these weighs from 400-500 pounds. 6 pieces of 2x6-inch flat bar also 36-inches long.
Loading on the tractor forks!
Moving them to the drop-off pile.
Dropping them off!
There was a tunnel on the way home.
We went through it.
And then I wanted a picture of the "light at the end of the tunnel." It turned out more like the "atomic explosion at the end of the tunnel." This was taken just before our vehicle was enveloped in the flame rush!
Very pretty drive between Ashville NC and Knoxville Tn.
I drove all the way through.
Somewhere in the mountains, there was an exit with nothing more than a gas station, two resturants, and two rafting companies. We stopped here to eat at "The Bean Tree Cafe." We ate on a porch overlooking the river.
I'm a hamburger guy. They had some sort of awesome crazy hamburger that had a beef pattie, fried egg, ham, bacon, lettuce, onion, onion ring, and avacodo. Talk about a BURGER!
The rafting company was closed for the season, but as I hoped, their swinging bridge was open.
The rafting company apparently also does zip-lines. Here is the zip-line tower!
Here is some other sort of configuration of terror!
Gotta love the guy that invented self-timer on cameras huh!
The creepy viaduct under the road!
Some sort of air poluting tower.....but it looked neat reflecting on the water.
Finally......NEVER drive west at sunset!
