    IMG_0934.JPG My wife and I decided on lunch in Asheville, NC at "Carmels" (pic of catfish ruben and sweet potato fries, off the charts good) late yesterday morning and end up later in the evening booking a room here..Pisgah Inn, North Carolina - The Peak of the Parkway and enjoyed some great vistas and outstanding dinner last night and light breakfast this morning. I have attached a few photos of our first short journey in our C. The C performed outstanding and really exceeded our expectations as we enjoyed the cool temps of the the Blue Ridge Mts. Just wanted to post some fun travel pics. Enjoy! IMG_0915.jpg IMG_0932.JPG IMG_0929.JPG IMG_0925.JPG
    early morning photo off our balcony...with fresh coffee of course.

    When trolls ask "Is the Prius c powerful enough?" THIS should be the answer.

    We averaged 55-60 mpg, and at times our mpgs were through the roof...this car is awesome!
    thanks to all for your kind posts. It was a blast!

    64 is a great road and just a nice leisurely drive. One our favorites among many that we enjoy on both two and four wheels here in NC.
