Nice!  I WISH I had scenery like that to ride about in........In Illinois, nothin' but flat boring farm land and bugs. I'm jealous!

Nice looking pic there Heff, you sure have that 350 loaded. ;)

Y'all planning to get hitched up in the mountains around there?

haven't really nailed it down... we could get sick of all the wedding commotion and just head out to vegas.   8)  OR  we'd like a castle type setting w/ a gothic edge.  just so happens the mountains make a great setting around here.   ;)

If you find yourselves in North Carolina, all you have
to do is jump over a stick and you're hitched.!

I like Virginia. I have a friend who retired there. I may look into it.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

Your right Steve, we're stupid hicks down south and I can't for the life of
me understand why anyone would want to move down here amongst us.

However, some folks say,

"I wasn't born in the south but I got here as quick as I could"  ;)
