The Meat Camp Ride.
Yes, Meat Camp is a real place in North Carolina, USA.
Meat Camp is an unincorporated community located in Watauga County, North Carolina, United States. It is supposedly named after a primitive packing house used by hunters since before the Revolutionary War.” – Wikipedia
“Situated along the Old Buffalo Trail and established before the Revolutionary War, Meat Camp was the location where hunters stored their dressed animal carcasses until they were ready to return to their homes in the lowlands.”
Day Two of the October cycling camp with friends in North Carolina. Located somewhere near Boone, North Carolina, this network of quiet paved roads, and even quieter gravel roads makes for a marvelous mixed-surface cycling experience! Flat roads, there aren’t too many.
