Thanks. I need to get myself motivated to get back at my artwork. I have just wanted to sit & do nothing the last couple of days.

Jan - like the Smokey mountain pictures and your artwork.
Trick - “wears only flip flops”. You do not have to rub it in !! John

Hi all...haven’t posted in a while.
Welcome to the ol’...nevermind, welcome Bigtime! I retire at 57...went back to work part time. I worked 30 years for a municipality...did the maximum pension ride! Ruby, we may have crossed paths in the Smokies. I was there when you were. Sadly, my mountain carving dreams quickly turned to a will to survive. I went solo, after dropping my son off at Davidson College, 18 miles north of Charlotte. I lied...God was my co-Pilot. Encountered some really strong winds and down tree limbs. Fog, ice, rain, moonless nights, thunderous lighting..well suffice I did not enjoy the mtns. this trip. But I made it back to the Sunshine State! |

Wow! Are you sure we were there at the same time? The road up to Newfound Gap was only closed one day the week that we were there. Even that day, I was not sure why, roads were fine at the bottom & probably passable on top. I saw on the news a high wind warning but where we were, there was hardly a breeze & I discussed that with my daughter. Clearly, there were high winds somewhere. Of course, I did not attempt to go in the Camaro. (though I did see a couple of Camaros driving around, maybe I did see you). The road our condo is on (Ski Mountain Road) requires 4WD or chains if there is a heavy snow/ice & you never know what you will get when staying a week in the mountains. Sorry you were not able to enjoy your visit. Hope it is better next time you come through.

At Mignus Mill, I got caught in a heck of a rain storm.
It was 2pm. Around 48. 30-40 wind gust. Not Chamber of Commerce weather! |

Hi Ruby! Sorry last batch of pics. They show a celebratory Stella somewhere in the middle of the Everglades. Makes for an awesome sunset.
LOL...the upside down pic is Hotel SS...conveniently located near Waynesville, NC. The climate control wasn’t the best but the bathrooms and coffee were to die for. Yes, I slept in my car...because it was either that or go over the side. Seemed like every motel was either closed, too far or too expensive. So,,,Hotel SS it was. Spent 10 hours in there That day I hiked all but one (Skyline Trail) at Chimney Rock. That, plus setting up my son and the long drive...I was exhausted. Lonely too |
