What a Trip!

Near Laurel Knob Overlook (elev. 4600 … about 200 feet above Mt. Mansfield)

Too lazy to get out of car. (In our defense, we must have pulled into two dozen overlooks, at least.)

Asheville NC mall

NOT your typical mall. Old building. Great architecture. All local stores with mostly local goods. 

Did you know that there's a whole separate market for artisans from Western North Carolina?

Somewhat unusual building next to the mall. 30 seconds. It's what's at the top that I liked.
