Arrived in Asheville, NC around noon yesterday and had the afternoon to look around and shop a little. Didn't go thru the Biltmore mansion but saw it from a distance. That area is beautiful and we drove thru more gorgeous scenery today between Asheville and Corbin, Kentucky. The trees are just starting to turn in the Appalachians, more color the farther north we drove. Here are some "thru-the-windshield" photos - would have been more striking if the days hadn't been cloudy and drizzly.

We are staying in Corbin tonight - the home of the Colonel's first fried chicken restaurant. Tomorrow afternoon we will get to Rineyville for some kid and grandkid time!
