They want to resurrect that sucker AGAIN!?!? Apparently they didn't learn much
from the first re-incarnation. Might just as well open the window and throw
their wallets out.

You must have been facing north for Boone to be to the left (almost to
Tennessee). North Wilkesboro should, more properly, be called East Wilkesboro -
as it lies to the east of Wilkesboro. The whole area is very scenic as it is in
the Blue Ridge Mountain area. And the inhabitants average more teeth per mouth
than the Ozark Mountain Daredevils over in Arkansas.   Bv)=
