New Digs in Montford

Asheville's historic Montford neighborhood - about 1 mile north of downtown


Looking west up Watauga St.

The house is a little over 100 years old and has a very unique floorplan

The backside of the house looking up at the sunroom (top) and kitchen patio from the backyard

Looking down (and west) from kitchen patio at lower patio and fish pond

A little terrace on the west side of the property (just above the fish pond)

Looking directly south from lower patio ("Watauga Woods").  LOTS of shade in the summer

Hiking the Continental Divide w/ Scott

St. Patty's Day, 2011 - 85 degrees and perfect for hiking...
...somewhere south of Black Mountain, NC


Still no leaves yet, but it allows for better views

The bear/snake dogs safely guiding the way (lots of both out here - Scott rolls with a machete)

I want one

More vistas of barren trees

Some private property that we decided to check out/ trespass on

They have a very nice picnic spot here with a swimming hole

View of the picnic pavilion

Washing some of the dirt off

New Old Bike

Bought this bike on Craigslist for $40 in late February.  1996-ish US-made Murray beach cruiser.
