I remember the movie last of the Mohicans, filmed near Ashland. Looked
like beautiful country.


That whole Smokey/Blue Ridge area is very similar, all the way from
Georgia up to West Virginia. You pretty much have to be a botanist to
tell the difference in the vegetation. It is really nice up there.
That was a great motorcycle ride from DC up into the GW forest.

If I was rich, I would have one of those "cabins" on the side of a
mountain to go to in the summer.

I actually liked the North Carolina area the best of the three.
It was close to Nentahala (about 10 miles east). way back in the
sticks.
