 HIGHLANDER BBQ2101 viewsIf you pass through Roan Mountain, TN and don't stop, you will never know the delight of Pig Wings.

I confess, my Hiking Pal, RAT, ate the Pig Wings, I ate the best BBQ chicken money can buy.

Besides, these are simply nice folks. When I ordered Possum Heather politely informed me that due to a large order they were out of possum.

Glad they were out of possum but, I kept Dr. Chang happy and ate the chicken. They have several sauces and Eastern NC vinegar is hard to beat but, their own sauce is better.

 LOOKING GLASS ROCK2070 viewsLocated near Brevard, NC and a moderate 7 mile hike, round trip, is one of the most scenic views along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Set this one aside for when it is not covered in ice and just go do it.
