Going to the Mountains(Boone area)

[theedaddy]

Its a humbling/vacation/training/mind clearing trip.

Any tips? advice? suggestions?

Bring warm clothes.

You can get weed there.

Boone? Lots of stuff to clear your mind there...lol

lol WTF is it with Boone and weed?

The only time I stayed in Boone we went over to Grandfather Mountain, and these guys coming up the mountain were all like "Hey, do you guys know where we can get some good green?"...

How the hell are you gonna ask a complete stranger that, anyways?

There's tons of awesome trails near Boone/Banner Elk... go walking. If I can remember some names, I'll post 'em.

Go to Mast General Store and buy lots of yellow stone ground grits. If you don't like them, I'll take them.

I lived there for four years. I really miss it.

Wow, I'd check that out. About twice as much as a hotel, but easily worth it.

It's right off the main road, just a short drive from town. It's right on the river - the road goes up the hill on the other side of the river but once I got there I didn't care.

You can walk a few steps to the water and cross some rocks and just sit there in the middle of the river with a cool beverage and listen to the water go by. The hot tub gets HOT, the deck has a grill, the kitchen is well prepped.

There's even an air hockey table.

Don't speed. The Boone PD will pull your ass for nothing this time of year with all the students gone.
