Visited the North Carolina Transportation Museum.  Mostly trains, though there are small exhibits of bikes and cars.  It’s sort of a work in progress.  Some of the trains are in beautiful condition, others look like they just came from the junkyard.  There are a lot of people actually working on the trains, which is nice. It’s a wonderful place for train fans.  There is a real train ride offered, but in a bout of realism, today the train was late.  So I skipped it.

Though my route was on I40, several times I moved over to a parallel US70. Valdese and Black Mountain were nice towns.  Marion had lots of long traffic lights.  I’m staying in Maggie’s Valley, a one street resort area.  It’s probably much more beautiful after the leaves grow out.  It’s been an unusual spring; trees are still bare.

I’ve had uploading issues, so these aren’t all the pictures I wanted.
