Saturday 25th Oct
Saturday dawned cold, damp and cloudy in Boone. It looked like it was going to be miserable, so Sally and I decided to go to neighbouring Blowing Rock (a town and a local feature). We were no mre than 5 miles from Boone, but the sky was clear, the sun was shining, though it was still chilly (looking away north to Boone, you could still see the heavy clouds). We walked round Blowing Rock, which has a small but interesting main street, looking in the shop windows, which were all decorated for Halloween or Christmas, and listened to the local High School Band. As usual everyone seemed very friendly. As we passed a house the owner (presumed) was standing outside giving away apples from his garden, which was very nice. We had a quick chat as we each put a bright red apple into our pockets. It was very pleasant. We stopped in a cafe for some lunch then drove off to see the Famous Blowing Rock rock.
