What's in BEECH MOUNTAIN NORTH CAROLINA?

[@johnturner6688]

Never knew about this place It's beautiful

[@margaretvillalpando7722]

Fall would be beautiful!

[@FridaysForever]

Yes for sure!

[@gray3553]

Theirs's a lot of information on Ray Hicks and his extended family from Beech Mountain on KZbin. Looks like the poverty and culture of Appalachia has gone and replaced with chair lifts , gift shops and tourism. Just glad Alan Lomax and others documented this region and its people back in the 70and 8os on film. Thx for showing us this up to date video.

[@annielee7310]

Beech Mountain has been destroyed by the greed of the government of Beech Mountain. They do not give a damn about the people who have lived here for decades.

[@marcdich9066]

your videos and the choice of background music has away of letting me feel at peace ,for this i thank you , love is a awesome and wonderful gift ,you are truly blessed

Hello guys hard to believe that y'all were in our back yard. Our little family were all born and raised in Avery County NC. My wife and I graduated from Avery High School. My wife use to clean houses on Beech Mountain before she got her nursing license. And our last name.....Hicks! Thanks for visiting our neck of the woods. A Whistle Pig is a groundhog lol. God bless y'all 🙏

When I was at etsu back in the mid 80's we would go snow skiing at either hawks nest in boone,nc. Sometimes at either beech mountain or at sugar mountain ski resorts. Sometim we would just go to wolf laurel ski resort located north far from flag pond,tn but over in nc. It wasn't far away from etsu campus.

[@harolddenton6031]

Hicks was probably some of my cousins. My hicks line goes way back to Virginia in the 1600's

[@deepfrieddeals]

I spent my Summers on Beech Mountain growing up, but it’s been about 20 years since I’ve been there. Fred’s looks exactly the same. The historical museum wasn’t there though. It used to be a really great toy store with all sorts of oddities.

Thankfully my german/ irish and scotch ancestors chose to settle down in the mid 1700's up in them beautiful far western nc mountains and then many eventually crossed the blue ridge and cherokee mountains to settle in beautiful valley around johnson city and blountville areas in northeast Tennessee areas by 1777 to 1780's. Most of my families on both sides were some of the first pioneer families to settle in the valley area of northeast Tennessee. My Denton's and Jone's are kin to lots of folks in the tri cites. One of my best friends Sonja (Cox) Crowe ended up being my (5 th)cousin through my (2 nd) great grandma /eliza yates who who's maiden surnsme was CHASE. Sonja's parents both come from 2 of eliza chases siblings blood lines!

Heading that way the first week in Oct. to visit the Land of Oz...Autumn in Oz event. When it first opened many years ago... my parents took us almost every year.
