I live between Cashiers and Brevard NC in the mountains, in fact I live just over a mile away from Gorges State Park. The Blue Ridge Parkway is just under an hours drive from my house, it would be a shorter drive but there is no direct route to it, have to drive to a near by town and then north to get there.
I recently read in "Afield" (the NC edition of The Nature Conservancy Magazine) that Transylvania county in NC gets 71.1" of rain annually. Brevard, the county seat, is just 28 miles from Asheville which averages just 44 inches of rain a year.
