BOONE, NC (PRWEB) September 16, 2005 -- With record temperatures and excessive humidity the norm in the Southeast this summer, many would-be beach goers found a logical, yet overlooked alternative for weeklong vacations and quick getaways. The High Country of North Carolina - a group of towns in the Blue Ridge Mountains that include Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock - was invaded by sweltering vacationers from Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and all over the country.

for our cabins and houses. Skiers are looking for efficiency and
availability nearest the resorts, usually condos in Seven Devils,”
Lyons said. For more information about Foscoe Rentals, visit About Foscoe
