Doug Hale2484 viewsOn 6 June, 1944 Doug Hale stood up. He stood up when he drove his landing craft ashore, delivering young men who will never grow old.
He stated he bent over to release the "Dogs" that held the ramp and missed a bullet that struck right behind him
He hasn't quit, still maintains his half of Guest River Railtrail at Coeburn, Va.
DOUG HALE, STAND UP! Now Doug take a bow........and thanks Doug.

First Trip 2480 viewsBJ made her first trip to the bottom of Linville Gorge. She sure was a great hiking pal.
Actually she had no trouble and we had energy to see the Plunge Pool.
If you are reasonably fit and visiting Western North Carolina, you should go down to the gorge. After the crowds go home and during the work week this is a wonderful place to sit in awe of what time and water has wrought.

Panther?2636 viewsCould this possibly be a Rock Island State Park Panther?
Since being ordained a Tennessee citizen, way back in 1976 I have heard the stories about panthers that lurk in the mountains.
This was sighted right out our back door when we checked in at the park.
Should I have listened to Lou and not risked our life and limb by checking in after dark in a place where waterfalls emerge from cliffs, but have no visible river?
To find out, check under Planes, Trains and Odd things, Critters answer no. 2

After making sure we were no threat he assumed his watch atop the back pack. When his transportation knelled down Charlie took his post atop the back pack. No, he did this willingly of his own accord. Dec 31, 2014
