Stone Mountain State Park

                                                                                                                                                                            

After Asheville we decided to camp at a random park for a day, and then head to Stone Mountain State Park for a couple of days. It was definitely one of my favorite stops so far. I'm just going to post a bunch of pictures instead of typing about how great it was. Here's a few from the first park:




The rest are from Stone Mountain:














Asheville NC


I feel like it's been so long since we were actually in Asheville. We don't always have easy internet access, so sometimes it takes me a while to post. Jeff did a couple of tattoos at Taylor Cort's shop, Mutiny Tattoo. Both of his clients were tattooers from Virginia, Robin Wilcoxson and Jay Ripley. 

Not sure exactly what shops they're out of but I'm sure they can be googled. I convinced Jeff that a 4 mile round trip walk to IHOP for pancakes was totally worth it.
 I was lying to him, but what did make it totally worth it was when the waitress laughed in his face and called him silly for ordering an english muffin and french fries. Taylor and his wife were nice enough to take us downtown and show us around. Downtown Asheville is pretty cool, lots of hills which was weird to me. I don't think I'd enjoy riding my bike as much. They have lots of vegan-friendly places to eat and Jeff scored a Terminator 2 special edition laserdisc for $2. Asheville was high on our list of possible places to move, but at this point we're not sure. Definitely had a good time, but don't know if we want to live there.
