Quote from Astro: “On my way back home Sunday morning I stopped at Fontana Village Rest to pick up my resupply box and saw a lot of Camaros in the parking lot. Then to get to Reliance to get my other box I drove thru the Tail of the Dragon. As soon…

In typical cafe fashion I planned this trip while driving 80 mph east on I-40 heading back from the Smokies.

Going up Wolf Pit road in my 2002 Honda Accord was risky with the amount of ice and snow on the road. The final hill going down to the…

There was about 6 to 8 inches of snow while going up. I stealth camped due to the amount of snow coming in and the next day went down the Big Creek trail. Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.
Nestle Nido and Breakfast Essential Based Milkshakes
Nestle Nido is a full fat powdered milk which when combined with water makes a high calorie milk. I add Nestle Carnation Breakfast Essentials to add flavor and additional calories.
