Just got back from right outside Asheville. My mom lives in Buncombe co. The mountains are so gorgeous, but it was so unbelievably hot & humid. Ate some delicious food & spent a wonderful time w/ my mom. I love western NC.
Asheville, being in the river valley, isn’t as cool as some of the surrounding towns with some elevation, but it’s still cooler than driving out and down into the Piedmont. Hot and humid as it may have seemed, a 30 mile drive east or south would have added a good ten degrees to that.
