on the road: tennessee and north carolina

{ one - three } The gardens at the house where Collin grew up in Rutledge, Tennessee.

{ four } A backyard chicken coop in Asheville, North Carolina.

{ five and six } The French Broad River in Hot Springs, North Carolina.

{ seven and eight } More from around Hot Springs.

{ nine - twelve } The Sunnybank Inn in Hot Springs. The home used to belong to Collin's great-great-grandmother and is now a bed and breakfast/hostel for thru-hikers on the Appalachian Trail. Elmer Hall, the current owner, prepared a delicious vegetarian dinner, Daron told stories about spending summers at Sunnybank and sang some of ballads she learned from her grandmother, By & By played a few traditional mountain songs, and a Night Blooming Cereus opened just for us.
