Also try the road that parallels the French Broad River from north Asheville,
west, out to Marshall (?) (don't remember the name - in the city it is
River Road). This was rated as one of the ten best by either Car & Driver 
or Road & Track. It's a twisty road (with passages all alike), with a 
55 mph speed limit. You can't sanely go that fast on it. It passes by 
scenic Craggy Prison, and takes a 10 mph U-curve at one point. Gee, 
I miss Asheville...
