Getting out

[cabnfvr]

Taking advantage of a balmy 38ΒΊ morning before the next Artic blast hits went out for BBQ. The roads were dry (mostly) so with BF gloves and heated liners we set out. At least it was sunny and not windy. We didn't make food pictures because we ate it. On the way...


This pic is current. The Broad River used to be about 50 feet across and only a couple of feet deep. On Sept 27, 2024 it rose in height to about 30+ feet. Chimney Rock NC is 1/3 restored, 1/3 closed and 1/3rd just gone.



We dined at Chimney Rock Smokehouse and it was excellent. Pretty cool Christmas decorations as well.




1.8 miles from the intersection that takes us home. Still closed to thru traffic so we went another curvy way.


Doing a drop off and a pick-up. It was the end of a good day.


Hope some of y'all are getting out regardless of the mode of transportation. Keep your jingle bells warm!

We're trying to get out as much as we can without encountering any icy spots. We're headed to Colorado and bits of Utah after we leave from BRPR 2026.

Susan, you were looking a "little green" sitting in the sleigh with Tim. Did his driving make you 'sleigh-sick?"

Given the roads around here, Tyson, it is possible!

We went back in the Jeep last Tuesday to see the Smokehouse lit up for Christmas. Great little BBQ joint.


Desert was awesome.


Next time we'll have to sample the Yippee sippy.
