Mt. Mitchell & Ashville

This is in Ashville. We didn't know what kinds of things to do there because we didn't feel there was enough time to go to the Biltmore mansion so we went to the visitors center and they said there was this walk through downtown where you can see some sculptures. Well, we didn't see very many but this was the last one on the tour so I just had to join in on the party.

This is at the top of Mt. Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi. We didn't even have to hike it. We drove nearly to the top and then got to walk a few paces to get to this point. It was probably a good thing because it was only in the 40s and I was wearing shorts and a small jacket.
This was on our way to Mt. Mitchell. They seem to have some funny names for overlooks. That log was tasty! The one good thing about this lookout is that it was actually where you could see something more than the tops of the trees.
