First Trip 2513 viewsBJ made her first trip to the bottom of Linville Gorge. She sure was a great hiking pal.
Actually she had no trouble and we had energy to see the Plunge Pool.
If you are reasonably fit and visiting Western North Carolina, you should go down to the gorge. After the crowds go home and during the work week this is a wonderful place to sit in awe of what time and water has wrought.Nov 11, 2011

Doug Hale2496 viewsOn 6 June, 1944 Doug Hale stood up. He stood up when he drove his landing craft ashore, delivering young men who will never grow old.
He stated he bent over to release the "Dogs" that held the ramp and missed a bullet that struck right behind him
He hasn't quit, still maintains his half of Guest River Railtrail at Coeburn, Va.
DOUG HALE, STAND UP! Now Doug take a bow........and thanks Doug.Sep 19, 2011

Jeremiah 2469 viewsJeremiah was a Bullfrog, was a good friend of mine, never spoke a single word, but he had some mighty fine wine.....
Got to figure out who wrote that stupid song so I can give him credit, whether he wants it or not.
Don't really know about the wine but, you can visit Jeremiah at Evins Mill.Aug 27, 2011

Panther?2668 viewsCould this possibly be a Rock Island State Park Panther?
Since being ordained a Tennessee citizen, way back in 1976 I have heard the stories about panthers that lurk in the mountains.
This was sighted right out our back door when we checked in at the park.
Should I have listened to Lou and not risked our life and limb by checking in after dark in a place where waterfalls emerge from cliffs, but have no visible river?
To find out, check under Planes, Trains and Odd things, Critters answer no. 2Aug 26, 2011

Wood Snake?2485 viewsNo such thing as a Wood Snake? Maybe a Copper Head, quiet common around here?? So, don't zoom in or enlarge the photo, make a guess what type snake this is.
Is too a Wood Snake.......... Zoom in and see. What the hay, I thought it was a snake and I was there with it, just below Lower Clear Branch Falls. Started to whack it with the Roaming Knob buuuut, nobody was looking so i just kind of eased on out.
Should have stopped right there, but this was too good to keep to myself.Aug 22, 2011
