I really wanted to play Windham Hill music while I was up at Roan Mountain this past weekend. It would have been perfect for the setting, but I got so involved with the camera that I forgot to plug in my iPhone and my iTunes! I think I was looking for the lamp post from [...]
I'm a part of a really cool group of friends and we celebrate birthdays. Every birthday in some small or large way! This past weekend we celebrated Pat's and her only request was to visit what she calls The Enchanted Forest that she had visited years ago at Roan Mountain. (Somehow, I believe C. S. [...]
Just got back from a trip to Roan Mountain Tennessee where we celebrated a friend's birthday. I got a special treat when I got to meet three of the thru hikers on the Appalachian Trail at Roan Mountain, Tennessee. I'm an avid follower of the Trail Journals and these guys were so nice.

I really don't think you can see this same site in the city though most of the people, who come up here to trout fish are from Atlanta. I have to admit this causes me to feel invaded! I love leaving the city behind, but I'm sure Abby Jackson feels the opposite since her business relies on people [...]
