Moses H Cone

Sounds like I'm cussin', but I ain't - this was the home of said Moses H Cone. From the website:

'Moses H. Cone Memorial Park, near Blowing Rock, North Carolina on the Blue Ridge Parkway, preserves the country estate of Moses Cone, a prosperous textile entrepreneur, conservationist, and philanthropist of the Gilded Age. Its centerpiece is Flat Top Manor, a gleaming white 20-room, 13,000 square foot mansion built in 1901 in the grand Colonial Revival style.'

After a walk here we drove a few miles north to Boone, a university town, where I purchased the 'Life is Good' t-shirt and cap that I'd been so tempted by at the Mast General Store back in Waynesville.

Tomorrow we begin the journey home.
