Saginaw County Weather

I went to Ashevile, North Carolina last week/weekend to go to a wedding. I did some great sight seeing there.

  Here is Tenn, just before getting to North Carolina

  We went to Spivey Mountain, on private propert, though al the "locals" use the two-track to get there. Some great views of Ashevile, below

    We went also to Mt Mitchel, highest pint east of the Mississippi at 6,684 feet.

                        Along the way on Blue Ridge Parkway, looking down on the North Fork Resevoir

         On the summit, looking back to the road we took to get here

hey mike,

quick question that first photo of the mountains and you pretty high on the road are you on highway 77 their?

cj

No, that first picture is on I 40, east of Knoxville, TN just before going into N.C. We took I 75 to I 40, then I 40 into Asheville.

Michael

oh ok i see. How long did it take you?

Hi CJ

  We left at 8am and got ther atabout 8pm so took us 12 hours. That was with gas/potty and eating stops. We had my sisters little yourky dog along and once we stoped for half an hour at a rest area to walk him too. Have a good time when you go. The color in the mountain areas higher up are getting closer to peak too.

Mike

Just read your other post that you'll be going to NC in 3-4 weeks so the color will be over but the senery is still fantastic.

Mike

hey mike,

I cant wait to go im really excited. And 12 hours is not bad at all. When i go i go through virginia and west virginia and then have to go to the ocean and almost to s.c.  so it takes me about 16 hrs to get there. I'll have to tell you how the mountains look they will probably have snow on them by then.
