MOTM - Apr '15
Short trip to N.C and TN

We went down to TN and NC early last week for a few days. We stayed at Iron Horse the first couple of nights and at My. Stream RV off of 80 the last night.

We had decent weather, just a little chilly in the mountains and at night.

First day out was 11 hours and 310 miles. We had a small issue...I saw something I never want to see again on our trip. We went to Bald River Falls off the Skyway, then...

After going to the falls we were headed to Blood mountain. There was an old Chevy Tracker in front of a jeep in front of us. All of a sudden he starts going toward the left side of the road... I yelled at Helmut to slow down. Then the tracker went in the ditch (3 foot drop)... The guy woke up and hit his brakes and jerked the wheel, turning him sideways in the ditch then flipping over 2xs before stopping on all 4 tires up against a tree. He did not have his belt on. He was ejected most of the way through the drivers window, he hung by his leg before falling to the ground. The guy in front of us had to go call 911 (no service). The guy in the tracker was alert and of sound mind (knew what happened and where he was). A kid in training to be an EMT (level 2), showed up right after it happened an a nurse from the local hospital. Guy was lucky.

Guy was a third shift worker and still in uniform...it was 2 in the afternoon.

Rest of the trip was uneventful....thankfully.

We finally made it to Little Switzerland and then up by Grandfather Mt.
