For outdoor enthusiasts, one of the best ways to kick off the new year is by participating in a "First Day Hike." Last year, however, many of the state parks and recreation areas affected by Hurricane Helene remained closed in January. Although signs of the damage wrought by Helene are still visible, fortunately, most of the recreation area and parks have reopened. ...read more

What is it about Christmas that stirs our memories? Certainly, memories overflow when we gather with those we love, especially as we remember those who are no longer with us. Perhaps the annual rituals of the season, like venturing to the mountains to choose a live Christmas tree or searching through a shoebox filled with heirloom ornaments that have adorned your family’s trees for generations, conjure tales from long ago. It’s likely, too, that our holiday memories include exceptional moments, like taking your child to visit Santa for the first time or watching snowflakes paint a picturesque scene on a rare, white Christmas. ...read more

In these modern times, there aren’t as many reasons to hang our stockings “by the chimney with care.” That is until Christmastime arrives, and then we all want the biggest, grandest stocking we can find to be filled by Santa on Christmas Eve.

Because of the tireless work by state and federal employees, local folks, and thousands and thousands of volunteers, the mountains are OPEN – including two lanes of Interstate 40 – and we invite you to vacation... And volunteer! ...read more

Even before we bought the Mast General Store, we were taken by the beauty of Valle Crucis. We’ve heard people describe the drive out Broadstone Road as traveling through a time portal. In the 1970s, fields in the river bottoms would be filled with tobacco, cabbage, or high with hay to feed cattle that were grazing in the summer pasture. ...read more

“Thirty days has September, April, June, and November. All the rest have 31, except February, which is dumb.” That’s not the way the verse really goes, but it’s funny and rhymes. And, as it turns out, it’s not dumb, and that extra day we have every four years helped add structure and order to the calendar (and the world). ...read more

There are literally thousands of songs, poems, and even scientific research that seeks to define and pinpoint the answer to the query “What is Love?” The Greeks, in fact, had eight or nine different words for love with each having some dependencies around it. The great philosophers of Plato’s time, some 2,300-plus years ago are still impacting our thought of love today. ...read more
