- Also try the road that parallels the French Broad River from north Asheville,
- west, out to Marshall (?) (don't remember the name - in the city it is
- River Road). This was rated as one of the ten best by either Car & Driver
- or Road & Track. It's a twisty road (with passages all alike), with a
- 55 mph speed limit. You can't sanely go that fast on it. It passes by
- scenic Craggy Prison, and takes a 10 mph U-curve at one point. Gee,
- I miss Asheville...
