Camping in Asheville (lots of pix)

@Jeremiah wasn't joking. Campfire Lodgings in Asheville, NC is a beautiful place. I've only fired up the Mini once, but plan on firing it up again tonight. Here are a few pics.
On on the way up, I stopped at Cabelas and found some new-to-me wood chunks -- Rum Barrel and Tequila Barrel. I ended up grabbing the Rum Barrel and gave it a go yesterday for some pulled beef sliders.
The aroma was fantastic and it tasted awesome on the beef.
Once the the internal temp hit 205, the beef was still a little bit tough -- so I ended up pulling it and placing it into a camping cup along with some beer and BBQ sauce.
Also so threw on some leftover Zaxby's wings to reheat.
And here are some pix of the area. We walked up on a bunch of wild turkeys at one point.
And of course the obligatory campfire pic.
I will add some more pics later on. Plan on doing more site seeing and firing up the Mini again tonight. Might even try to hit up a microbrewery or two. Stay tuned!

I love the outdoors, I love it even more now that we can take the MM to camp with us. Nothing better than hiking in the mountains, and coming back to killer food. That is when you know how blessed you are."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

Thx y'all! @Jeremiah , we ended up driving the Blue Ridge Parkway. Just got done seeing the Mount Mitchell Summit. Now we are about to hit up the Highland Brewing Company for a tour.

Wow nice pictures, enjoy your time there. Those chunks you bought are awesome, I have them and really like them. Take care.Large, small, and a mini

For future reference, there is a great campgrou nd at the base of Mt Mitchel. The hikeing trail up begins there. Not sure but maybe closed for the winter but a consideration for future camping trips. The South Toe River flows through the campground. The hike up is considered strenuous...at just over 5 miles. ENJOY YOUR DAYS THERE.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

@YEMTrey , the wife and I are at Highland now. Really cool place with a great food truck outside with organic grass fed beef and cheese. Also ust did a tasting of these while waiting for the tour to begin. I'll get the Cold Mountain Winter Warmer next. *edit -- just asked for the CMWW and they won't have it available until later in the week.*
@northGAcock , I'm going to hafta shred quite a few pounds before staying at that campground I think. The walk alone from the parking to the summit about wore me out. LOL -

Asheville is a great place. Asheville in the fall is even better. Got married on a golf course in October there and it was unreal. We go there at least 3 times a year, although the wife goes for the high dollar rentals. Sure wish I could get her to camp...Columbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013
