Boone 2026

[Bill_Rockoff]

Weather got hotter over the last few days!

I took 221 south to I-40 and got off after about 9 miles, in Black Mountain, to go south on Route 9. This was a gorgeous road, but it's under repair so it's down to one lane in a couple places.

64 from there to highlands was fine, a little traffic-y, and so was 106 and 23 to Clayton GA. I took 76 west and then ducked south on the very pretty Charlie Mountain Road just east of Lake Burton. Highly recommended. Back roads to Cleveland GA, and then south on 400 to home.

Great to see you guys! I hope your weather holds for a couple more days; I got a couple drops as an evening storm builds for later this evening.

Cheers!
