Google said it was only 10 miles away but it is further. We had a Hallmark moment at the Christmas lighting! :)

it was a rainy day. Blowing Rock was in the clouds so really nothing to see. Go only when it's clear.

Popular places to visit

#appalachianechoes This picture is of the Mystery Hill sign in Boone. I took this picture because it reminds me of the time my parents brought me to Boone for a short vacation. We visited Mystery Hill and it is something I think about when describing this region. It is a picture that I feel many people from the region have in their minds from a previous visit or an outsider may feel for a similar place from their hometown. I chose to only take a picture of the sign because it is more direct than a picture of the Mystery Hill building.
