| Discovering the Scenic Small Towns of Asheville Highway |

| [Garden & Gun] South Carolinians have long loved to wind up the Blue Ridge foothills toward Asheville in the fall for leaf peeping, apple picking, and farmers’ markets. The interstate (barring construction) makes for the quickest jaunt, but road trippers in the know take the scenic route: Asheville Highway. The mostly two-lane stretch of Highway 176 runs from Spartanburg County north over the border through Hendersonville before connecting back to I-26 south of Asheville. |

| #4 Been there done that. Recommend you get a more potent car than a Fiat 500 for the trip. It was a rental. |

| #2 Bought for a pittance a magnificent Navajo squash blossom necklace at a Hendersonville antique shop. How it found its way to NC beats me. |

| #1 Besoeker. Having owned land in Hayesville & Murphy, NC, until it became overloaded with Half-Backs. There is a lot to be said about the plain natural beauty of Tusquittee Creek road/Tuni Gap/NOC area also. Plus Mt. Pisgah and the Pisgah Inn restaurant is must do (Spring to End of Oct) due to weather/ICE. |
