Rich Mountain - Moses Cone Memorial Park, NC
My first hike back from injury. I went to Moses Cone Memorial Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Located beside Blowing Rock this park is open all winter and has very easy trails. The trails are former carriage roads built by Moses Cone in the early 20th century. I hiked here over a year ago to Flat Top Mountain, which has beautiful views from the fire tower. This time I went to Trout Lake and Rich Mountain. The views aren't as grand but it was still a pleasant hike. A little long for my first hike back, but I still enjoyed getting outside in the mountains.
Hike distance 9.0 miles with 853 feet elevation gain in 4 hours and 30 minutes.

Carriage Trails at Cone Manor
Moses and Ceasar Cone began their dream of an estate as a place to visit and shake off the business ventures of their time. In the early 1890's they began to collect land just outside of Blowing Rock. They collected roughly 3,600 acres of land which included Flat Top Mountain, Rich Mountain, farmland, and virgin hardwoods and evergreens.
As time progressed they added apple orchards, two lakes stocked with trout and bass and imported deer from Pennsylvania. To access these areas they built the 25 miles of carriage trails.
Today, those carriage trails are for hiking, running and horses riding. They are visited by locals and tourists traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway. Here's a list of the trails: Figure Eight Trail, Flat Top Road, Bass Lake Loop, Manor House Circuit and Maze Trail, Rich Mountain Trail, Trout Lake Loop and Rich Mountain Carriage Road. 25 miles of hiking and exploring so don't get lost.

Vlog 37
This is from our trip to Blowing Rock and Boone, North Carolina! NC is one of our favorite states of the ones we've visited so far. We were able to bring Boo along on this road trip and stayed at a pet friendly place. Here we visit Apple Hill Farm, where they take care of alpacas and llamas, along with many other farm animals. We also went on some short but scenic hikes in the area.
Our second vlog from this trip will be coming soon. In the next one, we will be going on the scariest hike we've ever been on!

History Goes Bump Podcast, Ep. 62 - Moses Cone Manor
Moses Cone Manor is also known as Flat Top Manor and is located in the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area in North Carolina. It is a beautiful mansion built by Moses Cone at the turn of the last century. Cone loved the home and some wonder if perhaps he is still there in the afterlife. The tales that surround the manor include tales of moving furniture, ominous noises, strange happenings and even grave robbing. Our listener and North Carolina resident Steven Pappas joins us as a special guest host as we share the history and hauntings of the Moses Cone Manor. The Moment in Oddity features an underwater river and This Day in History features the first air mail in America.
