July 12

Monday - Today we stayed in Franklin, NC and visited the Cherokee Gem Mining Co.
We actually towed the trailer up a narrow back road to this slicing area. We had a blast washing dirt. Bob got a sapphire and some garnets and I got a 5.4 CT ruby and some garnet. From there we traveled to Asheville, NC and decided we checkout the mines that were advertised for the area. 
We found a BBQ place, Little Pigs, for dinner. We did learn that BBQ in NC means pulled pork. Not bad place. Staying at KOA Asheville west which is right off US40. I guess other people have complained about traffic noise because they offered earplugs at check-in.
