...And I'm Back
We spent a beautiful and too-short week in western North Carolina, fishing, swimming, hiking and picnicking with my extended family. I think that if we get the chance, my wife and I will probably retire to the Brevard area. It's over 103 here at home, and was never hotter than the mid 80s there all week.
Besides that, the Davidson, French Broad, and Horsepasture Rivers seem to have too many trout. Someone needs to help manage the ecology, preferably someone who knows how to roll cast and grill trout.
Please Sir, some things are better not broadcast to the hoi polloi.....

"Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive"
Glad to hear it. Time spent there, if you're an outsider, is always too short. And if you're not an outsider, you'd still wish for another day.
My family used to vacation there back when I was a sprout. That area still has some of the most beautiful unspoiled wilderness you'll find anywhere east of the Mississippi.

Make sure you take a rope. Did you slide over Turtleback Falls?
