Boone, NC

We left Florida on Monday, June 26^th, and drove to Hardeeville, SC for an overnight stop.  The next day we drove up to Boone, NC in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Beautiful  country.

Found our campground (Flintrock Family CG) and got setup for the night.  The next day we toured the town and area around it.  Found the MAST General Store (3 locations – original store and outlet in Valle Crucis and main store in Boone) and did some shopping/perusing.  Busy places.  Kinda reminded us of an LLBean – pricy.

Horse farms are popular up here.

Didn't go into this store but liked the name.

Of course, we did find a brewery.  Had lunch and a beer.  Good stuff.

The real reason we came to Boone is because of an outdoor play about Daniel Boone called “Horn in the West.”  It is America’s longest -running Revolutionary War drama.   We went on Thursday night and enjoyed it very much.

Before the performance we toured the museum which consists of several buildings along with people dressed in period costumes, and, they told us about life in those times.

Here are pictures of three early North Carolina flags.

The outdoor theater.

Beautiful moon that night.

A couple of pictures around our campground.

Boone is a great place to visit.  Appalachian State University is located here.  Judy now has a t-shirt from there to wear.

We would have liked to stay longer but already had reservations down the road so we had to leave.
