I'll stay tuned for it.) <BR/><BR/>It is a treat to be back online after being off on medical leave and to visit your interesting blog once again...Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973206464731483011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-58667822773385525142008-11-02T19:42:00.000-05:002008-11-02T19:42:00.000-05:00Kim, perhaps when I am done building a cozy cabin ...Kim, perhaps when I am done building a cozy cabin and planting a garden I will find more time to write some more stories.

I know that area is known as Betsy Gap, is this "folklore" or true? There is a rock house/cave in the mountain below my house. There is a tale that it was used as part of the Underground Railroad. I would love to know more, but have not met anyone who can tell me.
