Hot Springs is beautiful and a very cool place, all the hikers coming through on the Appalachian Trail, runs right through the center of town, love it. So, again, of course every nutty leftist, vagabond and wacky wiccan that didn’t land in Asheville landed in Hot Springs, lol.
Funny thing...Asheville is flaming progressive, but Buncombe County runs red. Asheville and surrounding suburbs have lots of goodies (GREAT farmer’s markets and restaurants), but to avoid libs, I stayed on the Tennessee side of the mountains...quite a few Freepers there.
