Karen spent quite a while with the woman at the front desk trying to find out where to eat. In our exhaustion, we finally decided to head away from Blowing Rock toward Boone, NC where the locals ate and shopped.
However, the supposedly marvelous burger joint was way to loud for my jangled nerves.
And the steak house was priced for the fly-in-to-ski set ($40 for a small steak, salad extra).
So we ended up getting a roasted chicken and some extras at Food Lion. That chicken lasted us for several days of picnics.
