Fine Roads Thru the Northwest Mountains

Mr. Harry G. Sharp, general secretary of the Greensboro Y.M.C.A., and Mrs. Sharp, and Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Sharp and son and daughter, Master Jack and Miss Margarette, of this city, have returned from a camping trip through the western part of the state. The trip was made in Mr. C.L. Sharp’s auto, the party going first to Asheville via Statesville and retuning Chimney Rock, Mt. Mitchell and Blowing Rock and other points were visited. The trip homeward made over the Boone highway via Wilkesboro. The party report a most enjoyable trip and good roads. Mr. Harry Sharp, who drove the car, says the new road between Wilkesboro and Boone has been graded all the way and partly surfaced; that the new road bed has been chosen in a survey which eliminates sharp curves and that when the road is finally completed it will be one of the best in the state for tourists, affording the splendid scenery and the best route to Western North Carolina mountain resorts for auto parties coming from the east.
