If you are driving in western North Carolina, you will see a highway. Exit sign for a national historic site. This is the Carl Sandberg Farm and home. The site is operated by the national Park service. From the interstate, it is a 30 to 40 minute ride in order to get to the site.

Waterfalls are always a beautiful place to visit. It never ceases to amaze me how nature can create something so memorable and that it's hard to believe that it's flowed the way you see it for hundreds of years.

Names are sometimes more descriptive than not. In this case when you see Sliding Rock North Carolina, it is self-explanatory. Of course it leaves something to the imagination. But when you get there, you put two or two together and you have a great time.

It's not every year that is special for celebrations. In a human life, we mark certain anniversaries, more significantly than others. In the history of nations, at least those that came after the age of Kings, Centennial celebrations are significant. That's why when America turned 250 years old, it's a big deal!

This was only the second time in my life that I have ever ridden a jet ski. The first time was during a cruise and it was on the ocean. Unfortunately, that only lasted about 20 minutes because we tried to go out into the open water, and we turned back because of high waves. So, effectively this was my first time.

Just the name makes you want to visit the place. Looking glass, ice cream, cheese, and dairy. I'm not sure that these three things belong in the same sentence, let alone business, but it sure does work once you see it in practice.

Horseback riding is a very common family activity, and there are many places where you can participate in this event. Boone, North Carolina offers the traditional guided horseback tour with a little bit of a twist. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Appalachian national Park, Boone offers it all.

I know what you're thinking, there has to be 1 million villages like this. In fact, if there was that would be great. That means that this delightful, beautiful and quaint village is replicated, and you can go on into infinity finding and enjoying them. Whatever you do start with Dahlonega, Georgia.

If you look on a map and you see in the Blue Ridge Mountains that there is a village called Blue Ridge, Georgia, it catches your attention. I can't be the first one who was struck with a necessity to visit and see what all the hubbub was all about. It was worth my visit and definitely worth going back.

In the US, we are universally familiar with the California gold rush. There may be some other regional gold fevers that may have gripped different areas, but I was not aware that in the state of Georgia there was a substantial goldrush in the early 19th century.

It appears that in the Carolinas, the word rock appears repeatedly in many of small mounted town. I can think of flat rock, and slippery rock, and of course, blowing rock, all inviting enough. But, Blowing Rock, the village, is a well established retreat and arts and decor, village located in the Appalachia foothill

Coca-Cola is an American icon and the worldwide corporation. You would not think it would have a Coke center, or a headquarters, but it does and it is located in Atlanta, Georgia. It appears that Coca-Cola type carbonated beverages, sprung up simultaneously and organically in various parts of the world.

When you think of Grand Prix racing, you think of Formula One and the Europe. But this is in the Carr class racing and St Petersburg Florida is the venue for the activity. This is an annual event which has grown substantially since it's early days. The entire city basically shuts down, it's Race Day!!!
