Our first English crew member2132 viewsWhat a delight! Gordon is a farmer from England and in very good shape. Hiked to Sill Branch and Pine Ridge Falls with us.

Not all Englishmen are from London. We have a lot in common, both being from farms.

Wood Snake?2131 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.

Roaming Knob Visits Crabtree2130 viewsI am NOT stalking the Roaming Knob. Purely coincidence he shows up in lots of places I just happened to be.

Here he is at Crabtree Falls, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Dobb's BBQ2130 viewsIf you pass through Dothan without a visit to Dobb's you will have missed one of life's little rewards.

Any Q joint that has lasted over 100 years just has to be good....and it was.

Lower Bubbling Springs Falls2128 viewsNever get enough of seeing a falls new to me. As I get older the rocks get further apart and even more slick.

If I get much older I will not be able to see the next rock.

Newland Falls *2126 viewsNearly dark when I spotted this falls right beside the road just outside Newland, NC.
This is as easy as it gets to see a waterfall.
