Day twenty-two: Columbia, SC, to Asheville, NC

Today started off with Daddy being chipper and fit as a fiddle. A good omen, by all accounts. We drove to Asheville, stopping at a Chick-fil-A for a bite of lunch and at Dr. Rush's office for a quick chiropractic adjustment. Then, onward, ever onward.

We drove through yet more rain and arrived in Asheville, NC, around dinnertime. Dad asked the concierge where to go for great Carolina BBQ, and without hesitation the man answered that Barbecue Inn was the place to go. So, we went, and it was fabulous Carolina BBQ, and very affordable as far as those places go.

After dinner it was too soon to head in, so we drove around down-town Asheville. Friends, it's like a Southern Missoula, only bigger. Neat shops, cool streets, and the hippie-lite feel of our dear home town. I miss Missoula, I'll be honest.

Tomorrow we'll see the Biltmore Estate, and cruise around town. We've even added another day in our schedule for Asheville, just so we can be sure and see it all.
