A Family Thing -- Again

We are heading again for the International Storytelling Festival at Jonesborough Tennessee. AND, due to her new found freedom as an editor for hire, Sister Beth is able to join us again for what we call the “Drivin’ Miss Daisy Tour.” (The ladies giggle in the backseat and give directions; Al just tips his cap and says “Yes’em.”)



This year’s tour started unceremoniously with two nights in the Camper World parking lot for fridge repair, but was followed by  a few days of waterfall chasing, hiking in Pisgah National Forest and the Blue Ridge Parkway, a horseback ride for the cowgirls, a Bluegrass evening and a surprising amount of computer work by our editor.

THE CRADLE OF FORESTRY

Even though the fall colors have been tardy in arriving, we did find some high up on Iron Mountain at a place leaf Peepers and AT hikers have always “The Beauty Spot”.
