Views From 5506 2nd Edition Complete Guide to Vacationing or Living on Beech Mountain North Carol

Well Hello! Aren't you cold? It's 14 degrees outside, come in and sit by the fire. I just made a pot of coffee, would you like a cup? Whether you are coming to visit us for the first time, or here year after year, this book is intended to explain some of the curious occurrences along with letting you in a little lore, while providing tidbits for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The reason Beech Mountain has tourists is its elevation. At 5506 above sea level, Beech Mountain is the highest town in Eastern America with temperatures during the summer rarely breaking 80 degrees and an average snowfall during winter time of 84 inches. What I intend to do is fill in that history with tips, tidbits and stories of the mountain. There is an ongoing saying on the mountain, good advice for anyone new to the top, "What happens on the mountain, stays on the Mountain." Is your coffee hot enough? Good. OK, let's begin.
