No hookups, we had to do the courtship process. I was a graduating senior and she a junior determined not to let me get away. She graduated in three years. Well she was right. We lasted a little more than 60 years before I had to lay her to her rest up higher in the Smokys, whence she came. Always wanted to take her back there, but I never got it done. Wish she were guiding me. She always new what was right.

Hello, yes a lot was closed because it was during the pandemic and hours were shortened, and some of the restaurants had not opened yet. I think this summer it should be more normal hours of operation during the summer. Thanks for watching!

Sorry if I missed it - stores closed for Covid or just not open at that time of day/week? 226A is also a highlight, nice winding road. Great video.

Yes that day was in the summer last year in the thick of the pandemic, so hours were sparce and things were closed a lot. I've been hearing 226A is a good road to ride. Thanks for watching!

Oh wow maybe it's because it's still early in the season? I bet it fluctuates since it's a seasonal town.

Hello, does is snow in this area? Looking to go to North Carolina for December. Any suggestions?
@MrMountainMan Жыл бұрын
Hello so unfortunately there is no guarantee of snow as we've had it in the 70's in December. The method to find snow can be about elevation. The Western North Carolina area ranges from around 1500'-6700'. It can be 45 degrees at 2000' and snowing at 5500'. Problem is there aren't many places to stay at higher elevations. Another thing to do is chase the snow. Sometimes it may not be snowing in Asheville but head north 1 hour and it could be snowing. A lot of it in December and January is just the luck of the weather. Hope this helps!

So what was the checkered past?
@Jonwayne777Iloveyouall3 жыл бұрын
That's what I won't to know????????
@MrMountainMan3 жыл бұрын
Yes so the checkered past according to this history is the NC Supreme Court Justice, Heriot Clarkson that founded Little Switzerland, had some segregated views on who was to visit and enjoy Little Switzerland. However, that unfortunate past subsided long ago and it's a beautiful little town to visit.
