It was our 49th Valentines Day together so we travelled up to Highlands NC which is a 'well to do' town that has fine restaurants and shopping. Most homes start at $1,000,000 to give you an idea. Getting to Highlands requires travelling on a twisty road to get up to that 4,000' high level. We took the '14 GT and had a really nice day with lunch at Madison's in the Old Edwards Inn and looking around the stores.
In photo #1 you used to be able to drive behind this waterfall, called Bridal Veil, but too many rockslides finally required the road to be closed. This was as close as we could get. I'll write a little under each photo to describe it.


This was as close as we could get to the waterfall.

Narrow twisty road to Highlands with close by rock walls.

My wife in front of the pricey Madison's restaurant. $106 bill with no alcohol.

Charcuterie Plate to split for an appetizer.

Unique style Pulled Pork sandwich with Sweet Onion soup.

Take home dessert of Coconut cake.
