  • First Snow of 2012

    First Snow of 2012

    From Larry…

    I’m not a big fan of cold weather, especially when it involves snow and ice, but aside from that it’s always exciting to see that first snow of the year. I can enjoy it for a day or two, but that doesn’t mean I want to live in it. 😉

    It actually snowed up on the mountain yesterday at the higher elevations and there were a few snippets of snow in the air here, but last night is the first snow that stuck to the ground.

    So I stuck my nose out the door. Well, ok, my nose and my camera, and grabbed a few shots of the morning snow before the rain melts it away.

    Happy Halloween!

  • Gunfights and glory at Ghost Town in the Sky

    From Larry’s Desk…

    People always ask me ‘What’s there to do in Maggie Valley?’ My answer, with a wink is, ‘Nothing. And we like it like that.’

    But truth be told there are a lot of things to do. Unique things that you just can’t do most other places. Like this one. The Ghost Town in the Sky amusement park has been entertaining kids both young and old for half a century. While it has fallen on hard times in the last few years, it was recently bought by a local resident who aspires to restore Ghost Town to its heyday. And she’s off to a good start. Where else can you ride a ski lift in the summer, or a 1,000 meter zip line, or see the famous western shoot out?

     

    Yes sir, there’s plenty of things to do in Maggie Valley.
