Autumn is still quite a long ways off, but if you want to go on this railroad trip you should sign up now and book your seat with Globe Treks! They are only having 14 seats available (open to us and the public) and I’m sure they will fill up fast for this is a very popular day tour!
And a big thanks to both Gaby & Dawn for suggesting this great day tour! Now come join us!

The Great Smokey Railroad day trip is a Nantahala Gorge excursion where we would be on a steam-powered train riding in the crown class. We will also have lunch on the train. Fun!! 🤩

There is just too much to tell you to put in this description section on Meetup. Therefore, please go to Globetreks.com and click on Day Tours. You should see the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. A full description of what the trip entails will be there with the price, etc. By the way, the price is $299 per person, but so worth it! Only a deposit will be required at this time.

IMPORTANT;
if you decide to go (and I hope you do!) please RSVP on this meetup event after you have booked your seat with Globe Treks. To do this please call Robin (booking agent) at Globe Treks. (828)692-1399. She will handle everything for you. Also, please tell her you are with Shae’s meetup group so we all can be seated near one another. Please book soon as you can! Just think what fun we will have! Choo-Choo! 🚂🍁

The Bush Farmhouse offers South African-inspired food and drink. Their dishes are prepared with fresh produce from their on-site garden and greenhouse.

This restaurant caught my eye for it was recently featured in an episode of Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives” in May 2026. The restaurant is quite unique. They have quaint decor plus a small outdoor menagerie of rescue animals ~ miniature donkeys, ducks, chickens, pigs, etc. 🫏 🐓 🐖 I thought it would be fun to check it out so come join me!

MENU: www.bushfarmhouse.com
They offer vegetarian and vegan options. Also cocktails, beer & wines. 🍹🍺 🍷

TABLE RESERVATIONS: 12:30 PM
The max number of attendees the restaurant will allow me is 16. So RSVP now!

PETS: 🐶 Allowed on outdoor covered and uncovered patio areas.

GIFT-SHOP: They carry their own Bush Farmhouse merchandise.

PARKING: 🅿️ On-site parking available.

NOTE: The restaurant is located only a few blocks (2-minute walk) from downtown Black Mountain so after you eat (or even before) you might want to check out the cool shops.

LAKE TOMAHAWK PARK: This public park might interest you while you’re in the area. It’s only 1/2 mile from downtown Black Mountain. It’s 16.3 acre and has walking trails, a playground, a fishing pier, and, of course, the 8.9 acre scenic lake.

So come join me for lunch at the Bush Farmhouse Restaurant and then go stroll downtown while you’re in the area or go check out Lake Tomahawk!
