Boone is a town located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. It is the county seat of Watauga County. The town is named for famous pioneer and explorer Daniel Boone.

Nickname:The Heart of the High Country

NOTE: On this trip in 2021, the two RV Gypsies drove to Boone, NC just to see fall colors. This is the second time that the two RV Gypsies have been to Boone, NC. The first time was in 2010 when they also went to Blowing Rock, the Zipline in Seven Devils and Grandfather Mountain. Those photos can be reached here, and a link at the bottom of that page can bring you back here.

Below: The two RV Gypsies stopped at The Red Onion Restaurant in Boone to eat. It was very busy so they had to wait 45 minutes. The food was good, but not great. Service was good, but the server lacked personality.

All-in-all, the two RV Gypsies did not get the amount of fall colors they expected, so they mostly got individual trees everywhere.
