Any suggestions?

    I am planning a week in Boone, North Carolina in mid-January.?
    Question:
    I have never been there and am hoping for info on what MUST be seen and a few hidden jems off the usual sites too. Any info from regular travelers would be helpful.

    Answer:
    I used to like to go to Linville Falls when I lived in Boone. Are you a skier? If you are used to the west coast, the skiing in the area will probably disappoint you, but if you are a beginner, the skiing in around there is great. Depending on whether there is snow, of course... Some links for you in sources below. I was only there for a year and I'm from Florida, so I avoided driving much in January, but hopefully some of this will help you out! If you go back in warmer months, my favorite is Howard's Knob, but it's only open April - October. Great view, though.

    Question:
    Are there any book clubs in Boone NC? my daughter just moved there and is wondering if there are any. any help will be appreciated. THANKS

    Answer:
    It depends on her age, but If I were her, I'd contact Wonderland Books, between Lenoir and Hickory and see if they couldn't provide her some more information. They're my favorite Used book store in the area. If she's younger, Karl Marx at the Dragon's Den in Boone can provide a comic book and graphic novel group. The local woman's club is active and the Grove Park Inn has a mystery group that also has mystery parties. Good Luck
