Asheville, NC?
Shit, son, been there on many a work trip. It's awesome.
Sadly, I can tell you of some awesome singletrack but not much else. We partied residentially.

We rented a house up on top of Town Mountain. Should be nice. Of course we will go to Biltmore, but other than that not sure. Maybe a drive on the parkway and some small side hikes. Did you know Asheville has 40 craft breweries?
Then on to Winston Salem to see The Princess. We have tix for the Winston Salem Dash (WhiteSox farm team). First row behind home plate - $11. I love minor league ball, and the ballparks are all new.

I absolutely did. Guy I worked with was a borderline alkie.

Whole lotta Christian hippies.

Oh, fuck.
No, they're cool. Drink/smoke up, like AT hiking, bikes and stuff, but have things to do Sunday mornings.

Christians are fine. It’s hippies I can’t abide. Never could. Even when my hair was past my shoulders.

The Most Hippie Town in All 50 States
North Carolina
Asheville
Say it with us: Asheville has more breweries per capita than any other city in America. But simple fermented hops do not a hippie town make. The city has 2,000 miles of hiking and biking trails, a Downtown that's blissfully walkable, and a 60ft natural water slide in Pisgah National Forest. It's not a hippie town in the sense of streets filled with tie-dye and head shops. But for outdoorsy hippies, nowhere in the state is better. And even if you're not a hippie it's one of the best US cities to spend the weekend in.

Maybe not so many hippie shops but they fill certain streets. I have no issue with it, but it is striking, kind of like strolling around Northampton, MA.

It's been nearly 20 years since we were there, long before the craft brewery trend. Hubby would love it.
