RE: Rain on the BRP
#3



Yesterday I got caught in a downpour while driving south on HWY178 from HWY64 in North Carolina. All of HWY178 is tight downhill switchbacks from Rosman NC to Pickens SC. I just put my hazard lights on, relaxed, and road easy. Never fun to drive downhill on a switchback route in the rain. There was no place to pull over or stop. All is well! I was soaked to the bone once I got down to SC HWY11 near Table Rock. Temps on the top of the mountain were in the mid 70s. Temps at the bottom were in the low 90s. Since I was all wet, the ride home to Anderson SC was nice and cool.
Oh.... according the radar, the storm-cell that was over me was also over the BRP. I was between Brevard and Cashiers NC, that would be between HWY215 and HWY276, or between BRP mile markers 435 an 420. Were you on the BRP south of Asheville?
