Maggie Valley area?

Tourist trap.. there are much better options. We stayed outside Boone this week and also hit up Blowing Rock and Linville.

Can't be no worse than Lake Lure this time of year

I did some research into it a while back. Apparently someone bought it to renovate and reopen it, but the estimate was more than they thought it was going to be. So they decided to just let it sit there. I loved it as a kid. One of the few "parks" that I didn't beg my dad to leave after about an hour.

That timeline has repeated itself several times in the last 10 years. At one point, I think a landslide took out a portion of the road up, so it was cut off completely. Probably a true creepy ghost town now.

Went through Maggie valley on way to Cherokee this week. Stopped and ate at salty dogs. It was stupid crowded. Got to talking with bar tender and she said they had moonshine days this past week. All the moonshiners from tv were up there. Most excitement I’ve seen in Maggie Valley in a while.
