Dear Nae,
We took a day trip to Pisgah which runs through the Smoky Mountain Nat Forest.
The mountains run down to the Cherokee Indian Reservation.  The hills are continuously covered with an ominous, smoky look caused by low lying cloud formations. 
We also went to one of my favorite towns called Brevard, NC.   The town is small with a university that has a small number of students.  But the feelings is so clean and complete.
The stores are great with lots to see.  It is one of the most highly rated small towns in US.  Hope you like the pictures!

My Second day on the Blue Ridge Parkway was on Goldie Honda.  It was stupendous!  Loved every moment.  Hiked three waterfalls along the way.  Enjoy the picts!
