Black Mountain, Catawba Falls, and St. Paddy's at Turbo's
Mar 17, 2022 | Asheville, NC
Erika had been wanting to do something social with her coworkers for a while and we were coming up on our last day in NC very quickly. So it was planned that we would go out to Terry's AKA Turbo's house in the evening for Saint Patrick's day. But first we went out to a town called Black Mountain that we had been meaning to go check out. It was an artsy little town with a lot of galleries and locally made crafts and such, so there were quite a few shops to check out. After that we went to Catawba falls for a little hike. It turned out to have the best waterfall that we've seen on our trip thus far.
After coming back to the house to change, we drove down to Hendersonville where Turbo lives. We were skeptical that he'd have much going on but he actually had a few friends over who seemed to be free-spirited and fun people.
This is where we got some coffee (Brian) and tea (Erika) to start our Black Mountain morning

Roberta Flack is a music artist that was born in Black Mountain. Apparently there is an ongoing campaign in NC to paint murals of their famous natives in their towns of birth.

This is at La Guinguette which served French and "Latin" food (basically just crepes, empanadas and enchiladas). It was pretty good though.

Found a millipede on the trail when leaving Catawba Falls. Funny because we found a millipede while leaving Twin Falls in Austin too.
