Our last full day in North Carolina. And a fine one it turned out to be. Drank coffee all morning, and Tom and I took a walk down the hill and back, then headed for Asheville for lunch, where we ate at The Bier Garden (one of my favorites on the trip). From there it was on to USA Adventures in Marshall and an afternoon of whitewater rafting. We donned helmets, grabbed our oars to took the bus for a 15 minute ride to the put in point. We had a good crew in our raft and an experienced guide. From their morning run on the French Broad River, the water level had dropped a foot or so, making many of the chutes more challenging. Tom took a spill into the water half way through the trip, but emerged with just bruises. Made it through about five or six level III rapids. Quite fun, overall.
Afterward, we cruised back to Black Mountain for some pies at My Father's Pizza. Took our desserts home with us a re-cooperated from a long day's paddling.
