I agree with all of this. The only thing I would add/change, is if I’m Beamer and get a sit-down with the Stockton’s, I have Justin Stepp right beside me.
@Cock of Boone - are you in Boone, NC? I have family in that area - beautiful up there!!
Wish we did, it's beautiful over there. Actually looked & looked for a house, almost a year but, nothing in our price range. Asheville has gone ballistic real estate wise so everyone has migrated to Blowing Rock, Boone, Spruce Pines & up HWY 321 toward TN. Go over there quite a bit though. Nothing more scenic than to ride round the Christmas tree farms when its snowing.
We live in the Brushy Mountain area.
Near the world famous "Love Valley"! Replica of ole cowboy town. Horse people come from all over to ride the trails. Rustic ain't the word for it.
