Funnel Cake at Tweetsie Railroad

"What did you call this? 'Funnel Cake'....Odd name, considering it is shaped nothing like a funnel. Fascinating."

"So, it is grain-based dough cooked in liquid fat at high temperature? Then sprinkled with a sweet powder? Wrecker will love this. Echo will hate it.”

"I must say, the appeal eludes me, as it sounds most unhealthy." *chomp*

"Oh.... Oh my. I understand your fondness for this 'funnel cake,' now. This is just... mmmm. Do I have the sweet powder on my face? Actually, I do not care!" *chomp*

"Ooooooooof.... I feel most unwell. I may have ingested an excessive amount. Sorry, what did you say? 'Sugar crash?' Ahhh. It was worth it.”

I really enjoyed Jenny Nicholson’s account of grimly pep-talking her reflection to get through the grueling two-day stay at the now-closed Star Wars hotel.

her alternate outfits are always cute

He was built In the 1880s by William Adams in the United Kingdom and was Given a blue like to the Caledonian Railway Class 812s (or just CaledonianBlue).

At around late 1921 he was shipped off to the United States but didn’t make it there till 1923 so to delays,he was given to Boston,he was having so problems with his boilers in 1956 so after repairs he was delivered to the tweetsie railroad in Watauga County, Boone, NC in 1957 when the railroad was built.

(Man this was a lot of typing😭😭😭)

(2024-1880=….144?!?!,he’s old)

house flipper in a summer heat, ac broke, Aunts and uncles arguing the house and cousins playing clue

Up along the blue ridge gold mining tourist traps, a christmas park surrounded by kudzu and fake plastic snow, tweetsie railroad, a crooked house

Thunder smothers my face with truth, and I can not write emotionally about a place. About the Appalachian projects I grew up in, the people faces hindered by time.

It’s a slow decay where sister discusses boat repairs, where you can’t remember it.

More pics from Tech's adventure at Tweetsie Railroad, home of the huge funnel cake.

"This is remarkable. A mural of an ancient steam-powered engine, once used as the primary mode of transportation on this world. Fascinating."

"As a fellow pilot, Sir, I wonder if you have considered the possibility of switching over to fission-based power cells, rather than the primitive 'steam' on which you currently rely?"

"Coal? Seems most inefficient."

"While speed is not this vehicle's forte, it does allow one a leisurely view of the land through which is passes."

"There is something to be said for the quality of a journey, as opposed to the quantity of time it requires. Perhaps arriving at one's destination quickly is less important than the experience of the journey? Fascinating."

"Photographs do not capture the smell, unfortunately. Nor the soot. cough cough You really must be here to experience the full effect."

"Incredible. There is a great deal of land here that would be perfect for settlements, yet it has not been developed."

"Please take the photo quickly…. Funnel Cake notwithstanding, I have very little cushioning in my posterior; this position is most uncomfortable."

"Pose here? Very well."

"Is this sufficient? It is the machine that should be the focus, not I."

"This is a model of a 'horse,' once used as the primary means of personal conveyance."

"How did one steer, I wonder?"

"He reminds me of Rex, especially in profile."

"The Tornado? Fascinating. So, you are saying that people CHOOSE to subject themselves to unnatural levels of G-force and gyrations, for amusement on this planet?"

"It spins very quickly, doesn't it? Around, and around, and around, and around, and--"

"Ooof…. I cannot watch any longer. I am beginning to regret the ingestion of that funnel cake…. Is there a refresher nearby? Specifically, VERY nearby?"

Traveling Boone

Boone is one of the many natural beauties in the state of North Carolina. Located in the heart of the NC Smoky mountains, Boone is one of the bigger and more well known towns in the NC mountains. Home to Appalachian State University, a few of the local ski resorts, and Tweetsie railroad, this town has lots to see and do! The town is a peaceful display of what the NC mountains have to offer. As a kid, I used to travel to Boone often and I have very fond memories of fishing for trout with my father, hiking the local mountains, gem mining, and much more. If you are looking for a quiet get away with the upside of always finding a fun activity to do, Boone is the place for you.
