When you have a two-for-one, a good points thing, at a decent hotel, that works well.

Towards Black Mountain is one possibility. (Twelve Tribes, with the false names, is out in that direction.)
South Asheville is where the traffic is especially bad. Hendersonville is a wonderful walk and drive around visit, the natural food coop is good there too. Walking around Asheville is good too, with some funk.
And there is quite a nice hot springs an hour north,then west, which makes a health, and forest hiking if you like, day trip. Marion (en route to-from the hot springs) is my fav funky-dunk town, with a bit of free bluegrass one night a week packing out some cafe. The town is a lot like Rosedale here in upstate NY.
A few years back the Messianics had a Retro music festival.
btw, thanks for the Asheville travelogue, I lived there recently and can always share recommendations.
When there is a weekend funky downtown festival, there are some Christian street preachers who show up. Generally they are Baptist, with the AV (that part is excellent).
They used to have a special weekend where downtown was closed for three days, Bele Chere, but they ended it a few years back. However, there is lots of other downtown and park stuff.

Yeah we know theres alllll kindsa craziness here...we used to be right in the thick of all of it...participation....so we are reaaaaally good at seeing what's what as far as the out of the box alternative lifestyles go and not being shocked.
God knew what He was doing sending us here.
Guy approached me at the pump asking for some spare change for gas...didnt give him change...gave him a 5.
Thing is that I need 5 new tires...4 for me 1 for her...really didnt have it at the moment but I did it anyway....by the time I finished pumping gas there I had an unexpected $300 heading my way...that was this morning before I even started work.
Katherine is driving back to Charlotte to pick up our daughter to bring her here.

Re: Asheville Bound
Jedi Knight, how about an update on the move to Ashville? How are things going?

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

About a week and a half ago we were staying an hour outside of Asheville on the western side.
Inlaws were keeping Abigail and because of the remoteness of the Air BNB *it was waaaaaay up a mountain* we stayed in that weekend and tried to relax and plan.
We had left Katherines car in the back of a walmart parking lot in Asheville so we werent taking two vehicles. Mountain was steep and her engine is under powered. Also some of the Air bnbs dont have more than one available parking place.
During that weekend we could tell that Abigail had just lost heart. We'd communicate over video chat and it was like shed just gave up...just monotone answers while she was being kept by my mil.
We decided to go ahead and go back to Charlotte for now because the back and forth with the air bnb was getting to be too much.
We are going to have to save up about 2500 and then go.
So we head down the mountain with a new plan and strategy and head to pick up Katherines car and it had been towed. Didnt expect the expense so we had to leave it.
We get back home really with the wind knocked out of us but our daughter is beside ourself with excitement.
So when we arrive and need to double up in our remaining vehicle to make the money to get her vehicle out of lockup.
Well my MIL decides to start acting out during all this and it just kicks us in the teeth and during this I got craziness with my own side of the family that is breaking loose as well.
We re adjust with another plan just trying to roll with the punches and yesterday we get the vehicle back after racking up fees for a week.
When we get home and prepare to make up for lost time because with everything that happened for that week our income dropped to a quarter....well my MIL just up and leaves.
But my Jesus is the God who is there...He is the all sufficient all sustaining all providing one and He doesnt need anyone to deliver His blessings and provision. If God has ordained something to be given and supplied even if He has to deliver that blessing with His very own nail scarred hand it will be done because He is faithful!
