Tennessee




We moved west into Tennessee on a rainy day.

Ashville





Ashville NC was a very interesting city to visit, including the home of Thomas Wolfe.

Friends






We spent a couple days with some great friends of ours in Morganton NC, Bill and Carolyn Vaassen. Bill is a physician's assistant, we saw him at work and toured the area.

Blue Ridge Parkway








We took a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway in western North Carolina, the color was pretty much gone at that altitude, but the scenery was great.

Mendenhall Planation






We visited the Menenhall Plantation. A lot of neat old buildings, not quite what I thought of as a plantation, but it was a beautiful fall day.
