Dad Visits
Last Tuesday, my dad finally arrived in Seattle. He’s been on the road since August 26th. Total road miles = ~4500. His vehicle = 2000 Harley-Davidson Road King plus a trailer. It’s an impressive trip.
Historic Jonesboro, TN
This little town surprised me. Jonesboro was established in 1779 and is the oldest town in Tennessee. Most of the buildings in the downtown area are on the Register of National Historic Places
Grandfather Mtn, NC
The Appalachain Mountain chain is the world’s oldest and Grandfather Mountain is the tallest in the chain. We trekked around the mountain on a cloudy day.
Biltmore Estate, Asheville, NC
The Biltmore Estate is a house in the grandest sense. George Vanderbilt (yes, of those Vanderbilts) had this constructed in 1890. The house encompasses four acres.
Piney Flats, TN
This visit was my first to Piney Flats. It’s in the NE corner of Tennessee, a rural area dotted by small towns and criss-crossed by winding country roads. It reminded me of the countryside of North Carolina I drove through between home and college.
