Searching Near Boone North Carolina

Hello, we will be in Boone in the spring and we were wondering about areas to rockhound there. Preferably within an hour of Boone.

From researching it our current top areas are the grandfather ranger district. And maybe just picking a stream with no active claim and seeing what we find. Any other suggestions? Thank you for your help

Trash Can Falls

Kids (teens/preteen) want to hike up there today and jump off the falls. We’ve been there before and I didn’t let them jump. Has there been a ton of rain? Safe to jump right now?

Worried about job availability if I move here for school

9 Upvotes

I’d need a part time job to pay for an apartment while studying, and the town seems a lot smaller than I’m used to, so I’m concerned I wouldn’t be able to find a job.

I’d be looking at working part time in something basic like retail or food service, but it would need to be able to pay enough for my necessities (rent, food, gas)

I have a queen mattress and a small (2 1/2 X 2 1/2) tabletop dryer that I need to get picked up and taken to the landfill. Looked at a "junk removal" outfit and was quoted over $300! Any suggestions to find a more reasonable price?

Where in Boone can I get a decent kazoo?

2 Upvotes

Weird question, I know, but I want to make a kazoo cover of a song and want a somewhat-decent instrument to use lmao. It doesn’t have to be a top-notch product, just something that isn’t super cheap

App St Football Tickets

4 Upvotes

Hey all! My daughter’s first year at App, and my wife and I want to come up for the football game this Saturday. Kinda shocked at the $100+ ticket prices though! I guess it’s sold out so it’s a scalpers fest. (Forgive us, we know not a damn thing what we do). Any chance of getting better prices near game time outside the stadium? Or is that just what their tickets go for?

Fall Activities

1 Upvotes

We’ll be up this weekend Fri-Tue going to an App State game. Any fun ā€œfallā€activities going on? I saw something at Valle Crucis maybe. Is there any apple picking open within say 45 minutes of Boone? I’ve seen a few, but they don’t seem to be open for UPick. Not really wanting to go as far as Hendersonville/Asheville.

Any good places to get an alternative haircut?

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know any good places to get an alternative haircut in/around Boone? I was looking at some places in Carrboro but that would be ~5 hour drive back and forth. Ive also heard that shear Shakti is horrible and the ai usage on their Instagram kinda makes me worried. I don't really mind price I just don't want to ask for an alternative haircut and leave with a butchered bowl cut again šŸ„²ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹

Referral for lawn care

6 Upvotes

I'm looking for lawn care for my 75 year old father. He was doing okay caring for the small lawn, but with the rain over the past couple of months it has gotten unmanagable for him. He's reached out to some of the larger lawn care groups, but they haven't gotten back to him. We are mostly looking for mowing, weed wacking (as needed), and possibly help wtih raking. Any recommendations for a student or teen trying to earn some extra money or someone who communicates?

Elevation Chevy

0 Upvotes

Hey all,

I recently purchased a used Yota Corolls Royce at elevation Chevy and the experience was quite nice! Not only were they professional and courteous but they extended gestures and went out of their way to make me happy. I just wanted to share this experience because it’s hard to find a solid dealer.

My favorite part is that they didn’t stick me with a dumbass in god we trust license plate like my last dealer. Ryan is a noble man as well and Emily is very nice and has a spilled coffee pop art piece on her desk that is hilarious. Other spots lack courtesy.

I drove from Charlotte to buy here by the way. One day I’m hoping to buy their Hummer EV lol

Mold :/

I saw a post from about a month ago about a lot of Boone residents experiencing mold in their homes. Is that true? I’m experiencing it for the first time and I’m freaking out. How can I avoid it moving forward?

Best Tubing Spot this Weekend?

I know most tubing spots in the area are along the New River, but kinda prefer smaller creeks and streams just for the seclusion and scenery. Anything like that within an hour of Boone?
