"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
16 July 2007I meant it about that altitudeStill raining outside, but here's a straight horizontal shot, give or take a degree or three, from the hotel room, which should give you an idea of how far up this place really is.
What -- are you up near the Grove Park Inn? (I verified with Wikipedia that's the name of the place I had in mind, but it's been 14 years or so since I was in Asheville, and I'm surprised I remembered it. We stayed in a Motel 6.) (And it's been almost 13 years since I was in a Holiday Inn Express!) Posted by: McGehee at 7:26 PM on 16 July 2007Actually, I'm on the west side of Asheville; that's US 19/23 down at street level. Last time I was in a Holiday Inn Express was, um, Wednesday night. Posted by: CGHill at 7:46 PM on 16 July 2007Skyhook a couple of those rain clouds and drag them over the mountain to middle Tennessee. We need it bad! Posted by: Winston at 7:56 PM on 16 July 2007Well that's a difference from where you were Saturday! Posted by: Andrea Harris at 8:53 PM on 16 July 2007Still got rained on. Six of seven days, so far (and it sprinkled a bit while Weevil and I were devouring pizza, so that might make seven of seven).

There's just no getting away from her on this tour of yours; when you cross the mountains on I-40 you'll be going past her birthplace. Posted by: McGehee at 9:27 PM on 16 July 2007Beautiful! Just like I remember that part of NC from the only time I was ever there. Posted by: Kirk at 8:56 AM on 17 July 2007 |
