Road Trip.

This trip was a surgical strike on Asheville NC. Population: 91,560.

We stayed at the Indigo Hotel downtown.

For personal attitude reasons I would not return to this hotel. Your stay may differ from my own.
In fairness, it has clean uptodate room amenities and they have a small bar and eatery in the lobby. They also allow pets for a $75 fee.

We started the day with breakfast at 5 Points Restaurant.

Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Biscuits and gravy and Belgian waffles. Covid conscious, every other seat was blocked off and mask were worn by staff and guests while not eating. There was a short wait outside (2 min ?) while waiting for a booth to become available.
Good food and good service.

First stop the Arboretum.
North Carolina Arboretum - Visitors Information Center | Hendersonville, NC


Beautifully manicured and landscaped to compliment the natural environment.
The temp never got above 30 yesterday so it was not as colorful as spring is, however still well worth the time to explore.


This shed with an earthen roof covering looked interesting. There were several other buildings that had plants, mostly what looked like weeds, growing on them.

The tasting tours were booked up with no openings available.
At $70 per guest it is not likely that we will return for later opportunities.

Still worth the time to drive around the grounds. A very beautiful place to visit.

Zinfandel for me and Merlot for the madam.

By dinnertime the snow had picked up pace.

For dinner it was Luella's BBQ.

Usually the order is nothing like the picture. Not so at Luella's. The presentation was as good as the quality of the BBQ.
The Brisket, Pulled Pork and Smoked Turkey were top shelf. The sides not so much. They were not memorable.
The Sauce was good but must be in short supply. Even asking for added BBQ sauce they were hesitant to let go of more.


Asheville covid has strange properties.

The city has identified covid on the SW corner of this street.

Not on this corner or the diagonal corner either. The SE corner has no signage so must be a "safezone"?

I'm guessing the dating scene must be difficult during trying times. This graffiti was tagged on the backside of a telephone pole.

This trip was enjoyable and we will be making a return trip to Asheville.
There is much to do there and a season change will make everything look so much different.

:lol: I guess weed is expensive in S Carolina, 5K a pound?
:finger:
They wish! They are probably looking at gram prices at the dispensary,


More snow for the next few days, with 12-18 inches by the time it's done Wednesday morning, they are saying. I didn't even leave the house today except to throw some bread to the crows and some scraps to my nightly visiting fox.

I got some you stingy canidian cunts wouldn't hook me up so I pulled some strings with my Alexander Keith's bootlegger.

I'm going to tell you a secret. You get a 26 oz can of whole peeled tomatoes. 6-10 jalepenos, 1 onion, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and half a bundle of cilantro. Throw that shit in a blender. Then dip these bad boys in what comes out PXL_20210201_233623272.jpg

It's like a party in your mouth and everybody is cumming.
