We headed out this morning from our site at the Julian Price Campground. We wanted to explore the area a little. We found a geocache on the way to breakfast in Blowing Rock. We refueled in the outskirts of Boone then headed to Valle Crucis to visit The Original Mast General Store. We often shop at Mast in Waynesville. It’s such a cool story of how the Cooper family saved this historic store and continue to run it and now several more locations as general stores. Each is a little different in what they carry but all have a delightful variety of quality merchandise. This one carries groceries as well as old fashioned candy, gifts, hiking shoes, baseball caps and more. Even better, employees tell us that it is a great organization for which to work. Steve purchased a fresh baseball cap with the Mast logo. We returned to camp the more direct way, via Holloway Mountain Road which is a gravel road most of the way but a much shorter trip.
