Waynesville Big Spring 1994
Video of the Waynesville, Missouri Big Spring (also called the Roubidoux Spring) I took in 1994. In 1914 its output was measured at 7,750,000 gals./day (12 cfs), but a cave diving site says its peak output during flood can be 200 cfs.
The story of a skatepark: The trip from Boone, NC to Jefferson, NC.
This was a class project focusing on Boone's skatepark being quietly moved over 40 minutes away to Jefferson, NC by the Watauga County Commissioners and the Watauga County Parks & Recreation department.
(It's a rough edit for now, this was my first run with Final Cut Pro. I'll come back to it once I have the time.)
Thank you to Buzz Berry for the interview, Matt Miller, Bill Splawn and anyone else skating in this video.

Community Information: Burnsville, NC
Whoever said small-town life was a small life never lived in Burnsville, NC. The town offers living situations and outdoor experiences that go above and beyond the norm, presenting you with many opportunities to Live the Life You Choose.

“Burnsville is kind of a cool place to be,” says Jamie McMahan, Yancey County Planner. “Our outdoor recreation has always been some of the best you’ll find on the east coast. The local art is some of the best in the nation. Downtown here—you can walk through the square, do a ‘360,’ look around—it’s Norman Rockwell. I mean, you can’t beat it.”
“You’re close to Asheville if you want the hustle and bustle, and if you don’t want the hustle and bustle, you’re just 35 minutes away,” says McMahan. “It’s the reason we have a lot of folks who live here, [who] both enjoy Asheville and Boone, but they want to be where life is a little slower. You can get to know your neighbors, and that’s what I think about when I think of Yancey County and Burnsville.”
“We draw a lot of people who come to Burnsville who plan other outdoor recreation,” says McMahon. “So many hiking trails. Of course, we're home to Mount Mitchell, the tallest peak east of the Rockies. Actually, 10 of the tallest peaks east of the Rockies are in Yancey County. So, a lot of outdoor recreation, a lot of people who are looking for fishing, hunting, hiking. We're ideally located sort of centrally to all those sorts of things. Burnsville is sort of the place where you can come hang out, have a coffee, do some shopping, if you’re not sweating on the trails somewhere, trying to pull a trout out of a stream nearby.”
“The retail merchants that you’ll find on Main Street are 100% independent retailers,” says McMahon. “All do a very thriving business, making it a sort of a very pedestrian friendly, very walkable, very energetic place downtown.”
“Yancey County and Burnsville are sort of going through a renaissance,” says McMahon. “The arts community here is very thriving. We're home to more artists per capita than any other place in the nation. Everything from fine arts to arts and crafts, blown glass, pottery. The Parkway Playhouse is just off of downtown, which is the longest running community theatre in North Carolina.”
“But most recently, we’ve actually had sort of a tech surge,” says McMahon. “Yancey County is also the only county in North Carolina to have 100% connectivity by fiber to the home. So no matter wherever you live in our rocky terrain here in Yancey County, because we’re pretty mountainous, you can be served with up to a full gig of service by fiber connection.”
“It’s a very wide and diverse group of folks who come here,” says McMahon. “We have a lot of native-born folks who grew up here and realize it to be the best place in the world. We have a lot of people who come here as soon as they can, as I like to put it—so, as soon as they discover Burnsville and Yancey County. So, a lot of folks who come from, really, all over the country have settled here and make it, really, a vibrant community.”
“To watch Burnsville change, as it’s changed and evolved and grown as a small town—I think it’s the ideal small town,” says McMahon. “And if you like that kind of small town life, you want to take it a little slower, a little easier—you couldn’t find a better place to be.”

A LITTLE SINGLES ACTION IN WAYNESVILLE, NC AT THE HAYWOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE COURSE.
BHTV: Explore WNC via the Blue Ridge Parkway
The Blue Ridge Parkway traverses the Asheville, Waynesville, and Hendersonville region, providing visitors and residents with tremendous opportunities for recreation. With an elevation almost 3,000 feet above Asheville, the Parkway offers a climate similar to southern Canada.
BHTV: Great Smoky Mountains National Park:
BHTV: Incredible Views of Chimney Rock State Park:
BHTV: Celebrating 100 Years of State & National Parks in WNC:
“It's a great place to just pull over at a scenic overlook, get your guitar out and play a few songs, and just enjoy the moment.”
The Blue Ridge Parkway is such an incredible resource for Western North Carolina. People visit here from all over the country, and those who live here are lucky enough to be able to enjoy it every day for recreation.
“What makes the Blue Ridge Parkway so special is the scenic drive that it is,” says Jill Jones of the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area. “It is 469 miles of pure scenic beauty.”
“The Blue Ridge Parkway is America's favorite drive, and the reason is, it's a park,” says Jones. “It was designed by Stanley Abbott to be a park. The landscaping was not by accident. So when you're on the Parkway, you're going through landscaped territory. You get off the Parkway and you can tell an immediate difference in the way things look. So, the scenic drive is very beautiful. People love to come here in the fall when the leaves change—there's plenty of overlooks. About 12 million people come here a year and bring their families. There's hiking and there's camping, there's canoeing on Lake Julian, there's crafts at the Folk Art Center and the Moses Cone Manor. So, there's just a ton of stuff to see and do along the Parkway, but the Parkway itself is the drive. It's like Main Street through our region.”
“Yes, the weather up here is quite unique,” says Bruce O’Connell of Pisgah Inn. “It's a big difference from Asheville to Pisgah Inn. When you drive along the Parkway, you change your elevation by about 3,000 feet. Our climate here is more like southern Canada. The difference in temperature could be 15 degrees cooler than it is in Asheville.”
“We have visitors from all over the world here,” says O’Connell. “They come from Europe, they come from Asia, they come from South America. We also have guests that drive up from the local areas like Asheville, Waynesville, and Brevard just to have a meal with us. People come up here just to travel on the Parkway and just to see the sights. One of the greatest things about living in this area is that you can be in downtown Asheville and then 30 minutes later be in the middle of the forest at the top of a mountain. The recreational opportunities in this area—the Blue Ridge Parkway and the national parks—fantastic. There's no other place like it in the Southeast.”
That's it for this episode of Beverly-Hanks TV. If you'd like to learn more about our region, go to beverly-hanks.com to contact one of our broker associates. Join us next time as we find some of the best-kept secret hiking spots around.

The Blue Ridge Parkway unravels gracefully across the landscape, at times suspended from high cliffs and etched into rocky crags, then deftly shifting gears to skim over hayfields and past log cabins bound by split-rail fences.

Why do families who experience a Cherokee area vacation never venture anywhere else? Because Cherokee is at the heart of a four state mountain paradise with thousands of attractions. More than you can see and do in a week, a month or a year, but a lifetime of fascinating natural splendors wrapped in the three most treasured brands of hospitality on Earth … Native American hospitality, Southern hospitality and Mountain hospitality.
The beautiful town of Cherokee is anchored by the world-class accommodations and games of Harrah’s Cherokee Casino, but beyond the tables, suites and eclectic cuisine are three thousand waterfalls and hundreds of historic sites wrapped in mountains more than a million years old.
These are the same tourist videos that are being seen by tens of thousands of hotel guests daily from the Visitors' Information Channels TV shows. VIC provides visitors with interesting facts about each area in an entertaining fashion and offer a glimpse into some of the best tourist destinations in the Mountain south.
