67º here in Ashville, NC at 8:20 am Tuesday. Has rained all night and had rained off and on all day yesterday. We were lucky to get set up with our trailer between showers.
Went to Biltmore in time to take our Roof Top tour. Guide told us we would be climbing 550 steps, and there were at least that many. really got details of the building of the house. We were lucky in that when we were outside on the walkways near the roof it had let up in rain and sometimes we had the umbrellas out.

Breakfast over, is now almost 9 am and we must head back to Biltmore for our 10:00 am tour of the inside of the house. Still raining hard.
More this afternoon.
