Chimney Rock, NC





The thundershowers early today left fog so we're glad we did our mountain sightseeing yesterday.

Friday we went to Chimney Rock Park. The road to the park was another road made for the 'zoom zoom' commercial. The views from the top (almost the top) were fantastic.

We spent some time in the village of Chimney Rock. There were lots of shops with all kinds of things and a river walk that was right on the edge of the water. The water was low and so we could walk over the little bridge and onto the boulders.

The road down was fun in the Miata (one car pulled over to let Bob go by). Watching the road on the GPS was a series of squiggles.

On our way back to the campground in Swannanoa, NC we went to the Asheville Pizza and Brewery. It's in an old movie theatre, there's a small bar and tables, a game room, a small movie theatre and the brewery. Good food, good beer (said Bob) and a definitely interesting place.
