The Carolina Gold Rush
Attended a local fair, flee market thing in Marion called the Carolina Gold Rush. This area was apparently populated with people seeking gold. At anyrate, they had animals, exhibits, new gold mining equipment, musicians, and food. Got back to the camper in time to watch some NBA playoff action. Last month was the boys tournament, now it's time for the men to play. Didn't see the Nets, but Detroit looks like they always know what's happening. If I recall correctly, nobody else watches any NBA. We then went back over to Old Fort for dinner at a place called The Fishing Camp. They have live music all evening and more of these old folks who Clog Dance. It's really just foot stompin' with tap shoes. The music was good, but down here they deep fat fry everything except bar b q. The cat fish gave me a belly ache that not even a piece of chocolate creme pie could cure. A Pepto Bismal night for sure. Hope to get Dana to ride back into the mountains today.

Right about the NBA. Can't believe you didn't stop in at Winston-Salem to pay homage to The Pearl. BTW, is there any place in the US to which you'd compare Blowing Rock? Sounds spectacular. By all means, please get some pix on here, with people in them too(meaning you guys).--close-ups so we don't have to guess who's who!
Mike and I decided we could not live in the Carolinas because of the deepfat fried foods in all the restaurants. I figured there must be enough chain restaurants by now that food would be available.
You seem to have forgotten that the two best NBA teams are from Texas! Or, maybe I don't know what sport I'm talking about, which is more than likely.
