I didn't think the answer was that hard!

A few days ago, we posted a picture of two very fancy overpasses and asked if you knew where they are located.  We even gave you some clues.  But I guess the answer was harder than I thought.

Those bridges are I-40 overpasses that run through the Biltmore property, just west of Exit 50.  The aerial picture shows the exact location.

Have you been to the Biltmore House in Asheville?  If so, then you have driven under these bridges, because they are on the road that leads from the House to the property exit.  The thing that makes the bridges different is the extra stone work to make them blend into the whole theme of the Biltmore. 

Write us if you want more information, because there's a great book that tells how the Biltmore owners worked with the State of North Carolina to allow Interstate 40 to go through their property.

Now, here's a preview for our next post, which will be on July 17.  You will definitely want to read that post very carefully, because it could save you some money at All Decked Out or Smoky Mountain Tower.
