Creatures feel spring. Spring is most intense after a long cold winter. In Boone, the first sunny day with highs reaching nearly 70 has a carnival-like atmosphere, especially around campus. It makes some folks crave beer and company...
A sure sign of spring in Boone is the outdoor scene of the Klondike Cafe and overflow crowd at the nearby Parthenon Restaurant. The Klondike is a beloved college dive. I've only been there twice. Once to drink a beer after a long ride on the motorcycle. The last to eat a cheeseburger washed down with a beer after another long ride. The verdict, it is great place for the 20-somethings.
The bottom photo is simply a stereotypical image of hippie Boone. Buildings may change, but the tie-dyes and hippie skirts will forever have a happy home here in the mountains...
