          Congrats, you'll like it there. I visit friends up there (Goldsboro and Asheville) couple times a year, and the roads are awesome. To avoid the sea of Hardleys, stay out of Maggie Valley. Good luck bro.

                            Hi BNE,
                            We are almost neighbors. I think you will really like it. Folks in NC are very nice (unless you try to tell them how things are done in NJ; & likewise should be done in NC). Winter is almost over. -long ride to Key west planned in about 7 weeks

                            Good luck on move
                            It is a great big beautiful world out there
