Couldn't agree more. Just got back to Tennessee a few days ago, and I'm lovin' it.
I'm up here in the mountains in Tennessee. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
Except maybe fishing in Montana or Wyoming, or Alaska.
But I'd still be glad to get home to Tennessee, even if I did catch a lot of fish (grin).
BTW, I went to Asheville N.C. and stayed four days last week. That place really is the San Francisco of the east now isn't it?
On the way there, going down 25W near Morristown, I had a big black bear run across the highway in front of me. A decade ago that would have been unheard of, they were found only in pockets in the Smokies and Cherokee National Forest. Guess those hunter's dollars (sole funding for wildlife management) are really working wonders.
