NC ski trip

[buzzcutt2]

Interesting vacation...

I was at my brothers in GA and his family and other friends decide to rent a place in NC to do some skiing. It is about a 6 hour drive or so from his place...half way up they called and told us there is no power at the cabin and they didn't know when it would be back on - also that they can't control mother nature and no refund is available. We decided to do it. Luckily it was still daylight when we got here...lots of trees down from the ice. We ran into walmart to get candles and flashlight - they were completely out of flashlights and lanterns. So we bought some candles and started drinking...still no power yet this morning, I doubt there will be any until we leave on Tuesday. Luckily we brought sleeping bags...it wasn't to bad overnight even thought it got down to 20 or so.

Just thought I would share...this a different experience for a Florida boy (no power is usually from the hurricanes and it is 80 degrees, not 20).

Anyone else in the Boone/Blowing Rock area?
