Bob and I had a lovely drive through the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina yesterday afternoon on our way from Chattanooga to Boiling Springs, North Carolina. Below are some scenes from the car and the North Carolina Welcome Center that we stopped at. The Welcome Center was unwelcomingly closed, but they did have some brochures outside to pick up.
We arrived in Boiling Springs at our housesit house just before 5:00 pm. Note: This is our first housesit in North Carolina, and we have only done one sit in South Carolina, each in the town of Boiling Springs. What are the odds?
Boiling Springs, North Carolina, is a small town of about 4,700 people, located in Cleveland County about 50 miles from Charlotte. It is home to Gardner-Webb University and was named for springs, now located on the university campus, that no longer boil.
It also has a great YMCA that we hope to use and a small library and a very good Mexican restaurant. Most importantly though, it is home to Linda, the homeowner on her way to Italy to teach English for four months, and her adorable dog Cooper. More to come on our record-setting housesit here.
