Didn’t like traveling with it on the interstate so just north of Macon we headed east on Georgia 93 to get US 441 north to Jackson County North Carolina and our home for the night, the Comfort Inn in Sylva. The photo shows our traveling companion Boo in his favorite position on the dashboard of the truck. At about the time this pict was taken we were singing, “Me and You and a Dog named Boo”.
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week.
