I still exist.

The short version:

New Jersey, Philly, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina. Currently in Cherokee, North Carolina, at the base of the Great Smokey Mountains. They are sublime. I've never quite seen anything like them Maybe the greenest mountains I've ever seen. Thank you to Glenn Reynolds for the highway tip and lunch in Knoxville.

Route 41 in West Virginia is a beautiful, beautiful thing. Wild turkeys are neat. The deer are more common than NY pigeons. "Opossum Gen'l store" rules.

That's it for now. Dial-up is painful, but the real wood panelling in this room makes up for it. True vintage style. "Pocahontas Motel." If you ever get here, stay here. The incredibly friendly owner makes it even better.

Okay, sleep. Tomorrow it's off to Charleston, South Carolina.

I hope your summer is lovely. Mine is.

Nice read. Keep it going. Spiderfriend333
