Guys,
Thanks you for the info, very helpful. Tom W, We're staying overnight in VA off rt 81 and staying at Campfire CG in Asheville. We whanted to visit Blowing Rock so we thought we could go there first and then continue to Asheville, but if it's too complicated with the trailer we would go straight to Asheville and kill time there until we could check-in at 2:30pm.

Thanks again,

Rick

Not to complicated at all, Just depends on your timing. If your camping in Va. not sure how your planning on getting to Blowing Rock. I come down 81 through Va and that's not a straight shot to Blowing Rock. You could take a day trip up there later from Asheville and it's a nice little town if you want restaurants and shopping. I live just south of Asheville and there is a ton of stuff to do. Parking with your trailer will be your problem. I can't think of a place down town to park with a trailer it's either on street or parking garages. Biltmore house is an option but to expensive to just fill some time. New Belgium Brewery is a possibility for lunch, on the river, don't go by the picture on Google maps, it's all finished. Sierra Nevada Brewery next to the Airport is another, Lunch, parking, dog friendly and nice outdoor area, 15 to 20 from town on 26e. I'm not partial to breweries just parking possibilities. Send me a PM if you want, I grew up in NJ so we speak the same language.
