Old Albatross

This site is dedicated to waterfalls, mountains, an old aviators memories, with lots of poetic liberties, some just plain made up, and interesting places to visit.


FRENCH BROAD SHOOTOUT


DSC_0298-2_943x625.jpg

On a sunny Saturday afternoon a half dozen friends and I ventured from Tennessee to Madison County, North Carolina for a muzzle loader Walk In The Woods shootout, my first.

Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
