Work Trip #24 - Asheville, NC - January 7-8, 2008

My first work trip for 2008 was to Asheville for the Soil and Water Conservation District meeting. Quite an interesting crowd.

On the way back I stopped to fill the state vehicle with gas in McDowell County. The DOT fueling station is right across from the McDowell community college. It has a very distinguishable blue and white standpipe that you can see from I-40.










I then headed into Old Fort to take a look at the water towers that you can see from I-40. This is the actual "old fort".










Old Fort. NC.

The water tanks are part of an old industrial area. It could really use some revitalization, as many small rural NC towns can.
