I've spent much of my life wanting to move away, though I've realized lately that there are a lot of things I love about this section of the country. The farewell tour started as a half-joke, but I think I'm gonna do it. If anyone wants to join me or add to the list, go for it! I hope I get to all of them, but I doubt it; the list is kinda long.
Liz's Blue Ridge Farewell Tour
(in no particular order)
Visit the house I grew up in
Trail Running at Issaqueena
Sunrise at Pretty Place, or at least go there
Pisgah swimming holes!
Favorite Hikes ~ (or at least visits to)
* Black Balsam
* Cedar Rock
* Horsepasture River waterfalls
* Mountain Bridge to Jones Gap
Bouldering @ Rumbling Bald
At least one short backpacking trip - I'm not picky
Coffee at 'the drip' in Black Mountain (Dripolator!)
Something on Jocassee, preferably kayaking, but picnics are good!
Bamboo teepees & gully clay!!
Upstate Ravelers at Brew & Ewe??
I will probably update this list several more times to add more items & cross off the ones I do.
(Update on 6/15: The list is growing... perhaps beyond my ability to complete! The things I don't get to before I leave, I shall attempt on any & every trip back!)
Any fellow upstate folks have something to add?

If you had a farewell tour, what would you be sure to include?

Liz,
You HAVE TO do everything on this list. I'd love to be a part of it when I come back for a visit in July. Hope all is well my friend. I'm excited for your move to Denver... I know there are so many good things wrapped up in that.
Peace and love,
Melissa
Sounds like a great list. When you're at the old house you need to check and see if there's any bamboo left, and maybe make a teepee out of it. And maybe go down to the gully and play in the clay. I'd be happy to join you on that part of your farewell tour. =o)
