E trade Baby Commercials

I just had to post this e trade commecial..It was one of the cutest and funniest commercials during the superbowl..

The Vale of the Cross

While Kristie and I were in Valle Crucis, we found and walked up to the crosses which everyone talked about..This was a very enjoyable moment for the both of us..

Bigfoot 911 Call

This 911 call took place in the mid-1990's on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington State..The guy who made the called never mentioned a "Bigfoot" but said it was a Really big Guy.. As you may hear, this guy sounded terrified and was unsure how to describe what he was seeing..Also you can hear the operator typing in the background..

Note: Even though it's the "Messing with sasquatch" commercial Pic on the video, it is a real Call..

St, Jude's Chapel of Hope

This small chapel (1st pic) is called "St, Jude's Chapel of Hope" and it's located in the small community of Trust which is near the community of Spring Creek which is in Madison county.. It sits on the corner where hwy 63 and hwy 209 connects.. It's open to the public 24/7..You can actually go inside to rest, take a look around and reflect as the sign in front encourage you to do as I did a couple of years ago.. Also there's a small building (2nd pic) that's called " Plum Nilly Farm" right next to the chapel although I don't think you can go inside of that.. So if you're ever on hwy 209 (between Waynesville & Hotsprings), don't forget to stop at the small chapel of Trust..It will definately be a spirit felt moment- atleast it was for me..

The Watauga River

The Watauga River is a large stream of western North Carolina and East Tennessee. It is 60 miles (97 km) long with its headwaters on the slopes of Grandfather Mountain in Watauga County, North Carolina.

The word "Watauga" is a Native-American word meaning "the land beyond" however local reference to the name origin is attributed to the meaning "beautiful river" or "beautiful water".

The Watauga River runs right through the middle of Valle Crucis.



As we drove down river road in Valle Crucis, we noticed that there were several small makeshift bridges along the Watauga River just like this one.

I'm not sure if this is the Watauga dam or not but will check into and I'll update this post....

The General Mast Store of Valle Crucis

During our trip to Valle Cruscis, Kristie and I went into the famous General Mast Store..

Here's the back of the store..

These guys were playing some very good mountain music..

Here they go again.. We had a wonderful time in the store..We could have stayed in there all day..

Here's a little history on the General Mast Store:

The Mast General Store began as the Taylor Store in 1883. By 1917 it had been purchased by the Mast family, who owned it for anther 60 years. Although today no longer owned by the Masts, the current owners continue to operate the store as a historically accurate general store.

Because it was considered one of the finest remaining examples of an old country general store, in 1977 the Mast General Store was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, which seems fitting, since it is located in the countryside of North Carolina’s first and only Rural Historic District. No visit to the charming hamlet of Valle Cruscis is complete without a stop at the Mast General Store, where customers can buy everything from plows to cloth and cradles to caskets. The locals will gladly tell you that, “If you can’t buy it here, you don’t need it.” Just ask any of them as you warm your hands over that pot bellied stove.
