Leave it to Libby to actually dig up some information about NC Highway 10. And you might know, there are geeks out there interested in the history of roads and highways! (That's one (organ) geek, talking about others, so it's okay.) We found some sites that talk about the history of NC Highway 10. There's this one, and here, and this one. And if that's not enough, there's always Wikipedia. Pretty interesting stuff, if you're into that sort of thing. I went to the funeral of a friend's dad in February over in Catawba, NC. On the way in I had noticed some signs for NC 10. On the way home I decided to follow route 10 part of the way just to say I did. So I was actually on route 10 between Catawba and Newton, NC. Our little bit of NC 10 is only two blocks long. It starts at Padgettown Road, intersects Kerlee Heights Road, and then dead ends just a bit short of McCoy Cove Road, all in the east end of Black Mountain. On the back side of our house is Highway 70, which is also known as State Street. It's the main drag in Black Mountain, and runs over to Ridgecrest.
