Also…I think that policeman overreacted a bit. He obviously didn’t know who you are. I am so glad you were able to bust out your car and hit the road. I’ve already made the movie in my head!!!
I’m thinking we need an evening of tapas and wine when you come home. I’ll bring Fried Almonds and olives. Any chance you can bring back some olive oil???
Sorry! I really should have posted the respectful selfie pole. Apologies. I thought I could post it in comments here, but nope. I shared the photo I took. Click the following link here to see it:
Apparently these are called “selfie stations” according to the all knowing Google. And Iowa has more than 100 of them. Who knew?! And yet not a single one at the Biltmore or anywhere around here!
Well, all we can assume from your excellent Google ninja skills is that Iowa is more advanced than WNC. 😹 Off the top of my head, Biltmore, Grove Park Inn (if they stop being stuffy), City Hall, the Morgan "Buzz" monument (my personal hidden fav), the Orange Peel, the view from the old reservoir, the chess boards at Pritchard park, any gorgeous house in Montford, the view above Mission, Craggy Gardens, and dozens on the BRP are my starting list.
What a day!!

Sorry if I made it too exciting. I think the ranger just wanted to get us off the trail and embarrass me. 😹

We’ll try to fit some in. Anytime that’s good for you works for us.
Well that was a roller coaster of high to low! But let’s just focus on the glorious selfie pole! Love that!!
I want to start a mission that all places like that need selfie poles!
I was thinking the same thing! Is it weird that I am very curious about what the selfie pole actually looks like?

I **LOVE** your idea of a mission to make selfie poles, where appropriate, available to all. Let's start a movement! ❤️
