Conga at the Biltmore (Day 1)

Declaring war on the rain, Eric read an informative review about RV parking there then packed up Betty for a 15 mile mini-excursion. The three days of rain meant that the site was largely packed or covered. …

Downtown Asheville
Asheville, The Official 2018 Visitor Guide magazine says to “MIX IT UP” and go from the Streets to the Peaks like a Local. Every offering is marketed as a not-to-be-missed opportunity and we are totally buying what they’re selling. There is no shortage of cool things to experience. Yesterday we headed away from the city…

Slightly Brilliant
With a name like Slightly Stoopid, the band and the fan base are daring the rest of the world to take them too seriously. Playing Fusion Mash, which we define as a mix of pretty much any kind style of music you want to name except classical, the skater-boys from San Diego have been free…
