I live about 15 minutes away from there, in the mountains, in a small town named Spruce Pine. The early morning and evening hours the sky is beautiful to look at, when the sun is coming up and going down over the mountains. The Blue Ridge Mountains are just a drive down the road, for the exit to go on them, if you have never been there you don’t know what you are missing.
