Road Trip to Western NC Mountains!
As the winter blues set in why not plan a trip the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in Western NC. In a recent article in the AARP magazine “Road Buddy” it tells about a free estimate of how much you’ll likely spend on gasoline – plus pointers to the cheapest stations along your route. You can also see a map and learn your estimated travel time and – for trips over 200 miles – the cost of a round-trip ticket between the closet airports. You can find these handy information sites at costtodrive.com and fuelcostcalculator.com.
