Reply #54: I consider myself lucky to live where I live

[Inchworm]

Nestled between the Appalachian Trail and The Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. My dad's property is 1 or 3 miles from where NC, VA, and TN all touch. The part of the trail I've seen the most was up around Troutdale, VA.

From there.. south toward NC the trail breaks off from a railroad grade. The railroad grade near the state line isn't part of the trail but I've spent soooo many nights under the stars there. I haven't been there in years. What I remember most (other than the partys) were the trestles(sp) in the middle of nowhere that seemed to be able to tell stories, and the smell/taste of wild strawberries.

My daughter is having her wedding overlooking the trail in a month or so. The scenery isn't as beautiful as her, but it is awesome.

There are places in Europe I've always wanted to go, but most of them are popular "spots" that are full of people. Ireland is my biggest wish to see. I'm sure my vision is tainted, but I imagine rolling hills, rock fences that stretch for miles, and cool dogs. There is also a square I'd like to see in Europe, but I can never figure out which one it is. :P

Oh! and castles are cool.
