Morning in Whitetop
This is outside Jackson's house in the morning. Greeted by the cats Day 17 - Saturday
This morning Jackson and I went to the local library to check our emails etc.
Martha drove me up to the top of Whitetop mountain to check out the views. It was stunning to see the blue ridge mountains on such a clear day.
At around 4pm we drove to Galax to have dinner at the Smokehouse. The food was great. I had pulled Chicken!
There was a storm brewing. Some nice folks (Tim and MK) that we kept on bumping into, firstly at Carter Fold the day before, then at Whitetop, then at the Smokehouse, offered to take me to the Ricky Skaggs concert at the Blueridge Music Centre. Martha and family went to their performance at the Applewood Centre in Cana. I would meet them their after the Ricky Skaggs concert.
Ricky Skaggs was great, although the rain was treacherous. At least I'll never forget that day for both the great music and the weather.
After the concert, I got a ride from Martha's friend Suzie Shenk who lives near Cana. I met up with the Whitetop Mountain Band at the end of their show in Applewood centre, in time for a
final dance.
We all drove back to Whitetop that evening.
