EXPO DAY #3 - Sunday
We bailed and went to Boone, NC

Overland Expo Journey - Day #8 // Exploring Boone, NC

Today was the third day of the expo and the eighth day of our journey. We are not returning to the Overland Expo. Instead, we spent the day doing a little exploring in beautiful North Carolina.

Mast General Store

The Mast Store in Downtown Boone resides in two buildings constructed in the early years of the 20th century. Many a memory was made and shared in the old Hunt’s Department Store, which is the main part of the Boone location. Its Y-shaped staircase has carried thousands of footsteps upstairs to find overalls and footwear. Today, it’s hard to find the old drain pipes for the sinks in the beauty shop once located inside, but what you will find is eager people ready to help you locate just what you are looking for and to share some helpful hints along the way.

Daniel Boone, the town’s namesake, used a series of hunting cabins in the area as he was exploring and blazing a trail for others to follow across the mountain in the 1700s. You can still experience the time of ol’ Dan’l in the cabins at the Hickory Ridge Living History Museum.
