I talked to a trooper that was there & he said she was going to be ok but was hurt pretty bad. Oh I also talked to Ernie Echols about the fishing in that river. He said that a fella up the river usually stocks it ever years & they do find their way downstream. Ricky Echols works for inland... -

Sometimes I get weird feelings & thats why I posted yesterday to heed the high water signs. Today on my way out to the cabin I was passed by a state trooper & a rescue squad volunteer. I was 25 miles away from the cabin at that point. I came up to the part where you see the high water signs... -

I think I mentioned TP in an earlier thread lol! Anyway Ernie has never said anything about what kind of TP to use. Normally there is some extra left behind from others. That just sounded wrong! I have seen all the major brands go down the toilet. Our for sure head count is Me, Doug, his... -

With the past few days of rain the river was running high & fast today. On your way here please heed the high water signs especially if coming from the north. There are several areas where water falls or streams will pop up along the roadside when there has been heavy rain & it either collects... -

Heading out to the cabin tomorrow & will be staining so it looks great for the Q. I actually wanted to do it last fall but had to bump it to the springtime which was fine. Instead of the fall foliage all the trees are bright green right now. Gonna take a scenic view route the next few days... -

Darn bonnie I am sorry to hear about your Mom. I have been driving back & forth from the valley to the beach almost every weekend for 2 years to help take care of my mother after she had a stroke. I am not complaining here but some folks have no idea what its like. My mother required 24/7... -

I picked up a couple 7 lb butts on sale at Food Lion $1 lb for the cabin. They had ribs on sale too but I could only get one rack. I met the guy in the parking lot who just bout 12 :( Actually I bought 15 butts total but I make dog food out of em for my mother's spoiled yorkies. Waiting on a... -

Bonnie I am still waiting on a final head count from people that I invited. So far there are not a whole bunch of people staying the weekend at the cabin. I am sure a few people that I know locally will be spending Saturday there & going back home after dinner or later. I did invite my step... -

I should bring my canopy as well. I know my buddy that is coming said he had ribs & some butts to bring too. I have only smoked up one brisket so if you are good with those I might bring one & you can give me some pointers. I should also make some cornbread. I can do a traditional southern... -

Sounds like a good idea. I know one lady that said she makes really good baked beans & she plans on just being their for afternoon/dinner time cause she has dogs she has to take care of. If I have time I will try to bake some rolls for sandwiches or just buy some. I will be happy to make up... -

I was ordering a sub at Subway today & saw something that you won't see at the cabin. After I ordered I noticed everyone in line behind me was texting. There have been many times leaving the cabin after a few days spent that I wish I didn't need to have a cell phone. -

Inland Fish & Game are pretty much the police out there. What do police do? Write tickets :( If you wanna play it safe you can get your fishing license online here https://secure01.virginiainteractive.org/horf/ or there is a Walmart at the exit you will most likely be taking to get to the... -

Start practicing your 2 finger steering wheel wave to oncoming traffic. You will be surprised how many people are gonna wave at you on these back roads to the cabin. -

Alrighty then Doug you have the master suite which consists of 2 older twin beds that you & your wife can slide together side by side :) Maybe bring a box fan to stick in a window in case its hot but if not you will probably be fine. The air coming over the mountain to the valley there gets... -

We can probably get bait at the Deerfield Mall.....which is a lil smaller than a typical 7-11. I have to go out there to stain the cabin soon so I will stop by there & make sure or just bring some. -

Glad to see you are still interested bonnie! We can get ice 5 miles or so down the road at the Deerfield Mall. When you see this place you are gonna laugh because its no mall at all! There is a refrigerator at the cabin but of course it can only hold so much. I am also going to bring a... -

Well sadly the Sprint Cup All Star race is May 18th at 7:30 pm. There are options. When I am out there staining the cabin I can bring my computer & digtal TV antenna adapter & see if I can pick up the local Lexington or Staunton FOX station. I would have a concern that being tucked up right... -

I have to admit that I am stunned with the lack of enthusiasm for this gathering at a beautiful cabin, on a river, with a mountain starting right on the other side & not costing anyone a dime to stay there. Oh well I tried!
