Today is Friday but I am going to give Monday's update first.
Samantha called me yesterday. She wanted to know why we had a blog if we were not going to update it. Well the reason is that were we are staying has no wifi. Right now we are washing clothes so I will try to do this via my phone.
By 9:30am we were on the road. I-40 is closed between Asheville & the TN border. We decided since the detour was 60 miles longer, we will take 64 then catch up with 40 in TN.
It wasn't long before we started to go up in elevation. Lake Toxaway was almost frozen over! This whole area is a summer retreat type destination. Highlands is a very quaint little town. It called for a coffee stop.
I have heard of Bridal Veil Falls but never expected it to be right beside this winding mountain road. But we were almost beside it when we saw it. This huge waterfall with an area to walk behind the falls. The falls were partially frozen and the area the water landed in was built up with ice. It was beautiful. We decided this was a good lunch stop.
64 took us on through Franklin and Winding Stair Gap. Upon arriving at Ducktown, 64 detoured due to a rock slide! Seems like today is one of many miles to go hardly anywhere. This detour took us back to I-40 at Crossville, TN.
Exhausted, we ate at KFC and found a Wal-Mart to park for the night.
Good night.....
