This post probably should be entitled “Grit and Determination.” Today while out at the Hidden Valley Golf Course I had the pleasure of meeting one hell of a character, a three legged dog with no name. This dog would have a hell of a story to tell if she could talk. For the sake of [...]
This has probably been the longest span that I have not posted in a while. Truth is I have been feeling a little under the weather lately. Closer to the truth, I’ve felt like crap for about 4 days. But this post isn’t about that. Tomorrow, August 15, is the first day of Ginseng season [...]
A couple of days ago I went for a short hike here on Bolt Mountain. The area I was going hiking was within walking distance of my house. I was walking down a one lane road called Breckenridge trying to decide where to enter the woods. I had just come through a small curve when [...]

…to solving a mystery. A couple of years ago I found this old postcard while tearing down an old building in the head of Drews Creek.
When I first found this postcard I thought there was something about it that seemed familiar but couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was. I definitely don’t know [...]
I’m am without a doubt a fanatic when it comes to music. I could sit and listen to good music for hours. Some music I like has meaning in my life. Others tell stories of other peoples lives. I think I listen to songs and music because it makes my soul feel good. If [...]
