Lee and Karen Duquette,
The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
at Mt. Mitchell State Park
South Toe, North Carolina
October 16, 2019

Below: A very windy, narrow, dirt road which barely fits two cars passing each other. Luckily, Lee and Karen Duquette did not meet another car on this 7-mile twisty road which got much narrower than the photo below shows and often had ditches on the side of the road. They did not follow the GPS direction when leaving Mount Mitchell State Park because they did not want to drive this road again. It was impossible to see if a car was coming around any of the corners.

Below: The view of Mt. Mitchell was lost in the fog. The weather changed from fog to clear, and from cloudy to sunny, quite often during the day.

Below: Bald Knob parking area on the way up to Mt. Mitchell was quite foggy but was much clearer on the way back.

Below: The two RV Gypsies explored the Visitor Center at Mt. Mitchell.

Below: Signs (located outside and inside the Visitor Center) about Elisha Mitchell and his grave site, which is at the top of the path that Lee and Karen Duquette walked.

Below: The path to Elisha Mitchell's grave site, and the overlook at Mt. Mitchell.

Below: Signs telling the names of mountains and cities nearby,

Below: Karen Duquette became obsessed with the changing cloud formations and took several photos.

Below: Lee and Karen Duquette ate at the Mt. Mitchell Restaurant and had a nice table by the window. The food was good, but all of the food was cold. Food was served on paper plates with plastic forks. They will never eat there again.

Below: Lee Duquette liked the hanging Black Bear Canvas in the Restaurant store. But they did not buy it because of limited space in their RV.

Below: Time for Lee and Karen Duquette to head back off the mountain.
