Update on Fly’s Latest Mountain Vacation

I checked out of the haunted Cabin in the Woods yesterday morning to the site of a cleaning crew parked in the driveway, eagerly waiting for us to GTFO. I entrusted my navigation system to direct me towards the fastest path to Asheville, where we will spend the next 8 days. My windshield was CRACKED on the way to Blowing Cock and the length of said crack has grown by 5x since. On the way here, I was bedeviled by a most horrendous back-road ZIG ZAG white knuckled ride, one that I normally would avoid at all costs.

As a younger man, I had an aversion to heights. While I do not anymore, I don’t exactly enjoy it. What I do not enjoy is a tedious drive. More than anything else, I hate ZIG ZAG roads that require only 35mph — because you’ll tip the fuck over at 60mph. I endured that for about 66 miles.

Last night I rested inside of a 3br condo that we rented and it went fine. We spent the evening in Asheville, which reminds me of the nicer parts of Philly, minus the diversity. The people are eccentric, not exactly NYC village eccentric, but blue hair is a common look.

While driving around, or walking, I am ENTREATED to younger ANTIFA Fly complaining about everything. He’s 15 now and only wants to stay inside or in the car. To ask him to walk and exert energy is equal to the death sentence. I checked out of the condo today and just made it up to our next locale — another fucking cabin in the woods.

I was not looking forward to this — mainly because the one in Blowing Rock was terrible. This one is actually quite nice and very clean. The one set back is the GRAVEL ROAD FROM HELL, which is not graded and it pitched heavily to the left. Driving up this winding fucked road, enveloped by trees and shrubs, is something out of a horror movie. I felt on numerous times the car listing so far left — it felt ready to tip the fuck over and into the trees. Luckily I made it up, but now I need to spiral down to get food for the next three days, enough grub that will enable me to avoid leaving this place until checkout.

One major bonus to my nightmare is the neighbor just 300 ft above. The gravel road is a TWO WAY road, but barely big enough for my CRACKED WINDSHIELD Benz. Should I venture up the road while he’s coming down, it’s very possible I will have to drive backwards down this hellscape directly into a rocky crevasse to my instant death.

Plans going forward include heading to the Biltmore Mansion and grounds. And then we check into a fucking normal resort, the Omni at Grover Park.

Wish me luck!

    Let me know when you get to Walley World.

    And don’t forget to pay your reparations when leaving Asheville.

    Have fun!

    I know you have to with family but I wouldn’t waste your time on the Biltmore estate.

    Sure it’s interesting for a second but I stopped with family and got yelled at and almost escorted out for taking a picture like I was some thief scoping place out.

    What? I’m gonna steal your humongous curtains!?

    Oh my ..zig zaggy road. Pampered elites like all y’all aren’t going to fair well when the dollar goes to zero and you have fight for a meal.

    Anyway narrow mountain road etiquette is that the guy going up has the right of way and the guy going down yields off to the side.

    Try a side trip about 30 minutes away to Hendersonville. Very cute downtown area and a good place to do lunch or try Pisgah Inn for eats on the Blue Ridge Parkway. A bit touristy but very good rainbow trout. Or try a longer trip to Highlands, NC.
    We used to go there many times but we would do hiking and trout fishing with the kids.
    Doesn’t sound like Antifa Fly would be up for hiking but maybe you can visit the famous cemetery in Asheville (Thomas Wolfe and O’Henry buried there) and he can find some Confederate headstones to topple.

    Fly, If you need a movie recommendation while there; FACADE; A detail of random people are told that they are a part of a live testing for data on their reactions in the woods without any technology at their disposal . . . when in reality they are the stars of a bored and twisted family who have gathered together for the holidays to watch them all die.

    Just wondering, at the professional baseball stadiums why don’t they have fans seated 2 seats apart or 5 seats apart or 10 seats apart?
    Why are the stadiums completely empty? Why do the teams put up with this? Why do the fans put up with it? Why does Fauci only wear his mask when he knows he’s on camera?

    It seems Fauci is a pathetic little lying weasel who is laughing at you. He knows the whole mask thing is a joke. It’s a circus. It’s not about safety; it’s for control of the idiot sheeple.

        Thanks for the insult with absolutely no substance.

        It’s unclear if you have nothing of substance to say or simply fear being ridiculed when you can’t back up your statements.

    Boss Fly,
    Next time, you might want to consider RENTING a car. Maybe a 4 wheeler.
    That way you’re not putting all that BS mileage and wear and tear on your baby: BENZ.
    Jus sayin’….
    P.S. Have a great time.

    FYI! They are having a “Downtown Abbey” exhibit at the Biltmore when you arrive. Please know that my wife makes me watch and listen to this every-night upon bedtime cuz she likes these types of mellow dramas. For the first couple of years I would tune the show out, but now I find comfort watching due to its soothing nature and complex storylines.

    No human who has been exposed to civilization should summer south of Nantucket.
