Asheville, NC, Davidson River Campground in the Pisgah NF, 316 mile jump
It was an all day drive through exceptionally colorful scenery. We climbed to 2000′ ascending the Cumberland Ridge, then dropped much of that while descending into Knoxville. From there we followed the winding French Broad River up into the Blue Ridge Mountains and into Asheville at 2000′. I was excited to reach Asheville, but bummed when told the campground was another 15 miles. Eventually, about 4:30, we made it to a very nice and colorful campsite.
