It must be said that the primary source of my enjoyment here in NC was playing go and socializing w. my fellow players. The town of Black Mountain is relaxing and quaint. But it should be noted that the High Windy trail leading from the BR Assembly leaves a bit to be desired. The final view is obscured w. trees and brush and shared w. a cell phone tower and an old chimney filled w. trash. The rooms are the bare bones one might expect in a college dorm. The less said about the cafeteria the better. The main reason to travel here must be to explore and enjoy the outlying area.
