Grandfather Mountain???

So Mr. Wino and I are taking a little staycation next week. Don't have the money to do the whole vacation thing..so I was looking into great day trips and came across the Mile High Swinging Bridge up in G'father Mt....what else is pretty cool to see or do up there that would be worth the trip up the mountain?

Grandfather mountain is not bad for a few hours. In addition to the bridge, they have a small zoo with Cougars and Bears and a few other animals. There are a few other things to do in the area. There are some mild whitewater rafting trips on the Watuaga River, and they have an outdoor play/drama in Boone called Horn in the West, about Daniel Boone. There are some decent restaurants with ABC permits in Blowing Rock.

Boone also has ABC permits now if you weren't aware, and as such has had a bigger influx of fine dining.

Yea I knew. I prefer Blowing Rock over Boone though, at least when App State is in session. Its less crowded.

Last time I was in Blowing Rock, we ate at a little place that was literally on the side of a Mountain a few miles from Tweetsie Railroad. Best Pecan Trout I ever had. Can't remember the name of it though.

Probably Canyons.

    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
