We had an awesome time, did not ride near as much as we would have liked but we had a mission to find property  ;D

This is the cabin we stayed in for 4 nights  :D



It was on the Little Tennessee River.



A inside view



The next few photos are of my brothers property that he is developing (40 acres of Mountain)





Getting one of the wells put in



View



Putting gravel down getting ready for Hurricane Chris



My old bike, I think it is very happy in the mountains  ;D




On a ride at a friend's mountain  ;)









Fishing the Lt'l Tennessee



Low clouds when Hurr Chris came by



Staying at my brothers cabin and can ride from there  ;D






















OK now this is what we found and BOUGHT!!! well we still have to close on it yet.

A fixer-upper on 10.44 acres  ;D





Front yard



4 creeks with waterfalls  ;D



It comes with a Jeepster comando (I think, we are buying as-is)







View from behind house



and it comes with a still and about 100 mason jars :D :D :D



Views....can't wait to see it in the winter  ;)











trails and woods etc.  We hiked the boundary to find the survey markers and it took 4 hours  :o











When you drive to the top of the mountain there is a 360 view and 34,000 acres of US Forest lands with the Appalachian Trail going by.

Here is a map of the area

I'm jealous  ;D  Congratulations on your new place.  It reminds me a lot of where we rode in Virginia this summer.  Beautiful mountains, I bet the fall colors are a site to see.

I know!  Don't you just hate it when you try to be friendly and say "hello" to someone and they look at you like you just busted their gut?

Yup, My zip code is Franklin but the township is called Burningtown there are just homes, farms, and churches, 12 miles north of the city limits, and the county is Macon.

I'd be more than happy to help out. We own a flooring store so If you need some flooring let us know and Im sure we can hook you up. Just wish I had more time off to go do stuff like that.

Franklin is a great area.   Have a couple friends in that area.  Keep up with the pics.  You know, Larry Csonka and some of the old Dolphins started a property developement up that way.  I think they called it Csonka Estates.
