Great topics!
Very interesting topics. I went to college at Appalachian State University and have always loved the Blue Ridge Mountains. Boone, NC and the Blue Ridge Mountains in general are just a great place to live or visit. Great job on covering the culture and people in that area. Looking forward to hearing more! Thanks for all your work.
