    Boone’s CavePark
    is a 110 acre facility that was previously part of the State of North Carolina Parks System. It is a small park resting on 110 acres just north of MorrowMountainState, its affiliate park.  Located just off Interstate 85 and State Route 150, this park has never been intensely developed as a recreation site.  The park is strictly a day use facility nestled in a peaceful rural atmosphere mixed with large elegant country estates and beautiful green horse farms.  The park offers a secluded, quiet visit amid a rolling forest of mixed hardwoods.  It is a day use park offering limited facilities.  A picnic shelter, several picnic tables and a half-mile hiking trail.

      White-tailed deer, raccoon, fox, rabbit and quail can be encountered on site.  Some three dozen species of native wildflowers can be seen here including Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel and at 154 Feet, the state’s tallest Eastern Cottonwood tree.Click on link for more info and a video.

         Do Pillows affect your Health?

You spend more time with your pillow on your bed than with almost any other item you own. If your pillow is a couple months old and you could look at it under a microscope, you would be able to see, mold, stains and mites. These are definately not good for you when you are spending hours lying on them each time you sleep. A good pillow will last about 18 months. The pillow should support your head and keep your head and spine in alignment. Too low or too high will create stress.
