ASHEVILLE, N.C. — When we left Northern Virginia 8 days ago we headed straight south 364 miles to Sneads Ferry, NC, about an hour up the coast from Wilmington. We were deluged with rain there but so far we’ve managed to escape the ice and snow covering most of the rest of the nation. Yesterday we visited friends and a nephew and his family in Charlotte. For the next few days we’re staying at an RV park near Asheville, NC, where we plan to tour the famous Biltmore Estate on Thursday. Built by George Vanderbilt II, it’s the largest private estate in America. Rain and ice are predicted here tomorrow, which may delay our departure later this week for Tennessee. After arriving in Asheville early this afternoon, we hiked 2.5 miles through Richmond Hill Park (see Elizabeth on the trail) and ate dinner at the Jerusalem Garden Café downtown. Pray for our safety when we do hit the road again, likely on Saturday.
