Day 2, Mile 879.5, Brevard NC

A great start to a great day. I decided to head south on 441 to get to 64 E as the latter is marked as a scenic route. THAT is quite an understatement. 64 E is YASRR (yet another spectacular river road). When the road begins with a warning sign, <narrow road and sharp turns next 40 miles; trucks consider alternate> you know life is going to be good. 64 serpentines itself next to the Cullsuja (Tuskagee?) River and then other branches of the savannah river basin. Between the rapids and the waterfalls along the way there is an abondance of spots just beggin' for a visit and a photo (I only gave in half the time). At the end of the first part of 64 just before Highlands is a rest area built into a waterfall. You can even drive dehind the water! Spectacular.
Highlands is a lovely tourist/nature town set as a gateway to wilderness.
From Highlands to Brevard is more of the same; beatuiful twisties, with residential communities springing up left and right. I hope all the folks here are bikers as this is some of the finest bikin' land.
Now on to Charlotte. Gotta meet up with the Old Man.

Keep on twistin'! You've convinced me of the merit of the area for two-wheeled therapy. I'm goin' next year for sure!

You're not missing any great weather here in Chicago.
