	A very temporary reprieve from the rain allowed us to get two good pictures. This shows Interstate 26 West and Interstate 240 East one mile west of Exit 1B, North Carolina 191, Brevard Road. North Carolina 191 begins just to the north at Business U.S. 19/Business U.S. 23 and heads southward to Business U.S. 25 in Hendersonville. (Photo taken 7/7/05)
	Interstate 26 West and Interstate 240 East approaching Exit 1B - North Carolina 191 - 1/2 mile. This was the last good picture we would get for a bit as the rain began falling again very quickly after shooting this picture. (Photo taken 7/7/05)
	Interstate 26 West and Interstate 240 East approaching Exit 2 - Business U.S. 19/Business U.S. 23 - 1/2 mile. Haywood Road continues east for less than one mile before turning northward toward downtown Asheville. (Photo taken 7/7/05)
	Interstate 26 West and Interstate 240 East approaching Exit 2 - Business U.S. 19/Business U.S. 23 - 1/4 mile. Both business routes end at Interstate 26 and Interstate 240. (Photo taken 7/7/05)
	It can barely be seen here, but a sign to the right indicates that Exit 4A is used to continue on Interstate 26. Interstate 26 between Mars Hill and Asheville is not signed as an official interstate yet because the roadway is below interstate standards. The sharp one-lane ramp that is Exit 4A does not help either. (Photo taken 7/7/05)
