It is for a valiant cause and with the budget they have, they do the best they can from generous donations. <BR/>Besides the sites you visited, you missed Rutledge Falls (site visited recently by a film crew for newest Hannah Montana movie), the famous Brantley farm where the first TN walking horses were bred and buried, and some of the best places to eat in the whole United States- Jiffy Burger on Hwy 41, J & G Pizza on Hwy 55.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-12960570692105860722007-03-24T09:07:00.000-05:002007-03-24T09:07:00.000-05:00Unfortunately, the people who show me vacation sli...Unfortunately, the people who show me vacation slides NEVER have thrift stores in their collection!<BR/><BR/>In fact, a lot of the slides/photos I've had to sit through don't even have people in them: "Here's the Grand Canyon at noon." "Here's the Grand Canyon at 12:10." "Here's the Grand Canyon at 12:15." etc. Not even, "Here's Grandma leaning too far over the Grand Canyon."<BR/><BR/>Yours were NOT a yawn.<BR/><BR/>JoraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-15531180753998897872007-03-23T21:40:00.000-05:002007-03-23T21:40:00.000-05:00Thank you, thank you for taking us along on your t...Thank you, thank you for taking us along on your trip.

The guide supplied him with a gourmet lunch, snacks, equipment, even tied different flies on the line and handed the rod to him as they moved downstream. He could not stop smiling or talking about it. And, because this was such a splurge for us, it meant a lot to him, too.<BR/><BR/>It was the men's equivalent of a getaway "spa experience" and WORTH EVERY PENNY!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455517419708043340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-753636079487361802007-03-23T00:20:00.000-05:002007-03-23T00:20:00.000-05:00Meredith- Your trip blog was fun, and made me exc...Meredith-<BR/> Your trip blog was fun, and made me excited about our own upcoming adventures this year!<BR/> Here's a question: Did your husband enjoy his special flyfishing lesson that you paid for with the profits from your Ebay sale?
