Catawba County,NC

We had a nice tour of Catawba county yesterday. Ron and Jo Ann Veith from Milton moved down here 5 years ago. They live in the county just outside of the town of Newton. The area is pretty, with rolling terrain and quite rural. Jo Ann says it's like Milton 30 years ago. They found a home in an existing community that is beautiful. She toured us around to Lake Hickory and a golf course community as well as older neighborhoods. It was an interesting tour. The area has a lot to offer, and is one we are interested in. Schools down here are by county, not town. Students are assigned a school, but may choose any school in the district. The county will only provide transportation to the assigned school. Only state roads are plowed in the area. Everybody else is on their own. Got over to a Camping World and bought a new antenna head. It works, but only one over-the-air channel comes in clearly. People in the fishing tournament on Lake Norman are showing up at the campground. We're next to a guy who drove up from Louisana. From the look of his rig, he must be a Pro. On to the mountains.
