BLOWING ROCK, NC - - So how did we get to Blowing Rock when we were supposed to be on the Outer Banks? That rainbow in the last post was an omen. The weather forecast for Ocracoke Island and the rest of the Outer Banks was on its way from a bit bad to full on nasty. So we headed up to the Blue Ridge Parkway.
On the way to a connection with the BRP we checked out Farm Boys BBQ - - with a name like that you got to try it. They had a massive lunch buffet and massive dessert area...no dinner that night. Did I mention I'm sort-of-hobbling around from a broken little toe incurred the night before we left. Luckily it's the left side and I'm right-handed.
We've driven up Mt. Mitchell; gimped thru a hike to a falls near Pisgah campgrounds; spent Mothers Day lunch in a brew pub surrounded by people who never heard of ZPG (zero population growth); and are now in a coffee house named Bald Guys Brew. And no, if you have lost a good portion of your top covering you don't get the first cup free.
A small technical glitch, there are no photos with this blog.
