Blowing Rock

Picture From Wikipedia

Blowing Rock is a town in North Carolina, situated in both Caldwell and Watauga counties. The population was 1,418 at the 2000 census. However, during the summer the town's population increases to about 10,000. These "summertime residents" consist mainly of people from the State of Florida who come to Blowing Rock to escape the heat and humidity of the Deep South.

The town of Blowing Rock takes its name from an unusual rock formation which juts over 1,500 feet (460 m) above the Johns River gorge. Due to the rock's shape and size, wind currents from the gorge often blow vertically, causing light objects to float upwards into the sky.

Some necessary costs for the trip are:

1. Gas money
2. Hotel Expense

The things I recommend you do while at Blowing Rock are:

• Go To Tweetsie Railroad Theme Park
• Travel The Blue Ridge Parkway
