The Gathering Begins
Back in the cove we tried out the snow boards that we bought in Waynesville on the way home. It was awesome!!!!! It's been somewhere around 50 years since either of us had gone snow sledding. Sometime after dark CJ and Phil arrived from Tampa and discovered that the...
Venturing Out
