Boone NC KOA campground silo, Boone, NC KOA campsite, Along the Blue Ridge parkway in NC, An overlook, Another overlook.
I left Buena Vista, Va. and drove south on the Blue Ridge parkway. Weather was cool but no rain. Posted speed limit was 45 but you can cruise at 55 mph at times. Travelled 253 miles and arrived in Boone, NC home of my alma mater, Appalachian State University. Traffic was congested and it was hot. Also homecoming weekend for football. The KOA campground was located north of town away from traffic. Nice place! Just so I don't forget, I saw four deer and a small black bear on the highway. Almost had an encounter with a deer but it jumped into the trees just in time. After setting up camp, I enjoyed some tasty mountain house beef stroganoff, pop tarts and hot tea with "Jack". Did not sleep well and it started raining during the night. I broke camp after a nice hot shower, put on my rain gear and headed south.
