“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.”

Haunted History of ~Woodfin~ Asheville ~Buncombe County~ North Carolina
Three miles north of Asheville is Woodfin, Asheville's neighbor to the north, here you will find the Church of the Redeemer,it is a historic Episcopal church located in Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina. It was built in 1886-1888, and is a native stone cruciform chapel in the Romanesque style. It measures 50 feet long and has a steeply pitched slate gable roof. It features stained glass in round-arch windows—including a Tiffany window signed by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Also on the property is a contributing cemetery. It was built by Dr. Francis Willis, a British physician, who built the private chapel on his 100-acre estate.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985
Church of the Redeemer, built in 1886-1888 with two Tiffany windows, was originally the family chapel for a nearby mansion. The mansion has since burned down. According to witnesses, a female apparition has been spotted coming down the stairs of the sloped cemetery in black. She then crosses Riverside Drive and vanishes into the river. Some believe that this woman drowned in the river many years ago, and might be related to the family who lived in the mansion,or could it be one of its potential victims when the mansion burnt down seeking water to extinguish the flames.
There is the story of the woman in white, who occasionally appears on the steps of the Church of the Redeemer near the prison, then making her way to the nearby waters of the French Broad River before moving on to the prison, not a quarter of a mile away...read all
There are also reports of restless ghosts of the creepy, abandoned Craggy Prison
VIDEO HERE
The Old Craggy Prison was dedicated in May 1924 by the Buncombe County Commissioners, Craggy was one of 51 county prisons that the state assumed responsibility for with the passage of the Conner Bill in 1931. It was one of 61 prisons renovated or built during the late 1930s to house inmates who worked building roads.
In 1987, the General Assembly provided $8.4 million for replacement of the old prison with a new 312-bed facility as part of a $28.5 million Emergency Prison Facilities Development program. The new prison, located about three miles from the old site, opened in May 1989.
The state opted to close the old prison and build a new one as part of the Epps v Martin settlement agreement.
The town is named for Nicholas Washington Woodfin, a renowned lawyer and statesman of early North Carolina, under whom Governor Zebulon Vance clerked as an attorney. Woodfin is the only municipality bearing the name Woodfin in the United States. The town was incorporated in 1971, although the community itself dates back to at least the mid-19th century.

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN TRAIL VIDEO - Montreat, North Carolina
This is a video of my strenous 1.4 mile hike up and back on the Lookout Mountain Trail (3760 feet) located in Montreat, NC. The Lookout Trail leads up to the rocky summit of Lookout Mountain with great views of the Montreat Valley and the Seven Sisters. Please subscribe and watch my other videos! See more at:

Below the trail, the Montreat Conference Center is surrounded by approximately 2,500 acres of pristine wilderness that is permanently protected and will never be developed. The landmass of the Montreat community, as a whole, is approximately 4,000 acres, and is an important corridor for access to the wilderness beyond its borders. Conserving the Montreat wilderness is significant to the ecology of the entire region, including neighboring mountain preserves – the North Fork Watershed Natural Area, the Pisgah National Forest – and several thousand acres of private land surrounding Montreat’s wilderness border. Adjoining these large tracts of contiguous land are the Blue Ridge National Scenic Byway, Mt. Mitchell State Park, Middle Creek Research Natural Area, and the Black Mountain Natural Area. The Montreat Wilderness area makes a significant contribution to this larger “macro-preserve.”

Hello and Welcome from Western North Carolina
Well winter finally made it to the mountains of North Carolina. Check out this video for my update.
Cashiers, North Carolina has its own Sliding Rock, just like Brevard!
Cashiers, North Carolina has its own Sliding Rock, just like Brevard. Cashiers Sliding Rock is a natural waterslide, created by the Chattooga River gliding over a 10-foot high rock face with a few large potholes. Cashiers Sliding Rock is a great place to bring the kids to play in the pool at the bottom of the sliding rock or take the exciting slide into the pool. Dad can bring his fishing pole and fish for some wild brown trout further downstream. This is forest service property, and no lifeguards are provided. If you pay attention and evaluate the area upon arrival, it should be a very safe experience. Directions: From the intersection of U.S.64 and 107 in Cashiers, North Carolina (the Crossroads), travel south on 107 for 1.7 miles to Whiteside Cove Road and turn right. Travel 2.7 miles where you will cross a small bridge and see a small parking area just past this bridge and to the right. There are a couple of trails that lead from two parking areas. You'll hear the rushing water once you get out of your car.

Sun Wall Trail - Pisgah Forest, NC
Sun Wall leads to the giant granite formation of Looking Glass Rock. You can explore along the granite face. It's a very short trail, but It's a pretty cool hike for a quick out and back. What I did on this hike is go left at the wall and ended up bushwacking until I ran into another trail that climbers use to get to the wall. That way, I made a loop out of the hike instead of an out and back
W4F - Camping and Fly Fishing Pisgah National Forest Davidson River, NC
Ken Tanaka is back. This time camping and fly fishing in Pisgah National Forest on the Davidson River in North Carolina. Camping with kids can be awesome but also difficult.
