We're on a road trip. We're spending a few days with close friends in their beautiful home in the Blue Ridge Mountains close to Boone, North Carolina. They've knocked themselves out showing us a good time. When all we really needed to do is look out their back door. Miles and miles of breathtaking scenery.
Today we walked three plus miles in a park but couldn't go to the bathroom due to the Shutdown. Having to go to the bathroom was the only way we knew the Shutdown is still on because we haven't seen the news for three days. A good thing.

The town of Boone was named after Daniel. It's a university town. Appalachian State University has as many students as the population of Boone itself.

We had lunch today in the lovely close by town of Blowing Rock. My forth day of having fish. Yum! Yesterday we sat on the back porch of an old country store and listened to Mountain Music.
Tomorrow we'll head back to real life.
