I consult a variety of sources to gather my information: Roadside America, Trip Advisor, Flavortown USA, Off The Beaten Path to mention a few. I figure there are others like me (and Becky) who like to explore and find fun things to do in the area surrounding the BRR.
Something else I always do is to put all this information in pdf form to share with my Blue Ridgers. Despite five days of rain, we were out exploring just about every day!
