Plan: This trip is going to be centered around Chimney Rock State Park. We'll spend Tuesday here because you can't camp in the park. Monday and Tuesday night we'll be camping in a different location in a nearby (30 miles) away from the Chimney Rock State Park. It's centered around the Ashville North Carolina area so it should be beautiful and an experience that we could all use right now. We're leaving at 9 am and meeting at 8:15 am. l. The ride, without stopping, is 5 hours.
