I don't think I'll ever go in that restaurant again. Can't believe you confirmed the reservation 3 times and they did that

We almost went in Silver Creek on Sunday but changed our minds and went to Still Mountain because they had live music on the patio. Glad we did!

No kidding.

I just got off the phone with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. We gave $100 for the use of trail maintenance in the southeastern states.
The donation is in the name of the Southeastern Hammock Hangers Association (SEHHA). I will be receiving a digital copy of "AT Journeys" that I may distribute to those who donated for the raffle. Shoot me a PM, if interested.

I am awaiting a return call from the Foothills Trail Conference about our $70 donation. It will also be in the name of the SEHHA and Hammock Forums. I'll update this post, once I've made contact with them.

Very good pictures Loki !!

Looks like you guys all had a good time. I enjoyed the videos and Loki's pictures. Food looked good, especially the rubarb pie, not so much the brains, although I probably could use some. I used to kayak the French Broad and Big Laurel Creek a lot and take out right there, it sure brought back memories. Glad everyone had a safe and good time.
