From a loyal reader who shall remain anonymous. Check out the photo link. Asheville photographer Bill Rhodes got some superb shots:

My personal favorite part:  Tearing around Asheville in the back of the U-Haul with 16 rowdy Santas.  For reasons unknown Dankster (our designated driver) consistently parked us about 5 blocks from our target destination.

Here are shots starting with the 2nd stop on the tour: U-Joint.  Then some of downtown & Santa downs.  I am looking for shots from Grove Park and the 828…  Those parts were lotsa fun but kind of a blur.

The infamous Gypsy Bar worked it’s magic and we were somehow able to cart it around with no arrests.  That I know of.  Yet.  The 2 batches of hot yummy cider were a huge hit everywhere we went.  10 gallons dispensed via Dixie cups. 

Thanks in advance for photos.  Hopefully none put out there in public that are tooo incriminating(?!?)  Moonshine was a poor choice for a party starter.  Hindsight, 20/20, yada yada yada..
