They sold you a view from the hill.

Today, we packed up and left Asheville. 

We stopped at Cracker Barrel on route, and stood in awe at all the things which they call "fall"   Orange everything. Fall colours, Pumkins, oh so much. 

Then we drove on to Chimney Rock.     It was a dull day - lots of cloud, the first cloud we have seen forever.   It was almost like our eyes were clouded over.  We drove for over 20 minutes climbing higher and higher, hoping that we would come out of the cloud. 

But we didn't.

This is what we should have seen, but didn't.  

The little town, however, was like something out of Little House on the Prairie.  I love how olde worlde some of these places are. (See Extra)
