Thank you so much for your comments, everyone. I hope to have more pictures to post soon. I would have taken more that day in June, except it got blisteringly hot and people were staring at me as I oozed down the sidewalk, dripping.

Asheville was actually founded at the intersection of two Cherokee trading paths. Down on the Biltmore Estate, meanwhile, archaeologists have unearthed a Conestee Indian village that far predates the Cherokee, where they have found copper and the bones of a wolf native to Michigan, and seashells from species native to Florida. It would appear that tourists have been coming to Asheville for a long, long time.

Out of curiosity, how big did you think it was?
