Boone KOA Campground

Pam and I really liked this campground. Our site (G4) was a bit tight for our trailer and truck, and was almost 3″ unlevel side to side, but everything else was great. Every site had picnic table and portable fire pit.

Friday night, we had a group dinner at Dan’l Boone Inn, a huge family style dinner. No one went home hungry.

Saturday, the group went to Grand Father Mountain.

Sunday, we had a group “Bring Your Own” cookout and campfire. 4 grills were setup for people to grill their own food, and every people brought a dish to share.

Monday, 16 People and Bella hiked the Bone Fork Trail.

Tuesday, some of us went back to Grand Father Mountain. Pam, Celeste and I took the trail to MacRae Peak.

Wednesday, the group rode the Virginia Creeper Bike Ride. a 17-mile ride down 2,000 feet of elevation.

Travel Day 3 – Partly Cloudy

Drove from Spruce Pine, NC (Milepost 334) to Boone, NC (Milepost 280)

Our drive was much more enjoyable. The fog was gone, although it did rain a bit.

We saw man-made Price Lake and damn which was cool. Linda got some great pictures of our Airstream. The Linn Cove Viaduct was also amazing.

We are staying 2 nights @ Bear Den Campground in Spruce Pine, NC. Another very nice campground with lots of things to do and hiking trails.

The first night, we had a cook-out with Hamburgers and Hot dogs. Afterwards, Pam and Kelly hosted a campfire in our site (C01).

Thursday morning there was a group breakfast serving Oatmeal with Ice Cream. this is an Airstream thing. New to us, but it was different, but tasty.

Pam took a hike to Linville Falls (separate post).

Travel Day 2 – Driving in the Clouds

Asheville, NC (Milepost 388) to Spruce Pine, NC (Milepost 324)

We again took the Blue Ridge Parkway. Wow – it was Fog all the way. Dense fog where visibility was down to 30 feet. We drove slowly (following Al and Linda) and made it safely to Bear Den Campground (separate post).
