I am once more seriously backlogged in my writing for which I apologize.   I am struggling to keep up with life.  I am clearing my schedule and taking the self imposed pressure off.   I am getting a laptop which may help me keep up. I also need to just live. Quit pressuring myself and quit planning so much.   I also need to reinvent me and rethink my plans.   My annual Spring Wildflower trip has turned into something I never wanted it to be.    

 

I will continue to focus on visiting the areas that pertain to the Little Tennessee River watershed and include them in Valley So Wild blog series.  





 



 
  













Hearing from Readers of my blog



   I get emails or text messages from readers now and then. I always enjoy hearing from them.   I've made some good friends. I've gotten ideas that have greatly improved Cumberland Gal.  Going over things like directions or trip reports with readers trying to help them often jogs my memory. It causes me to recall places I've wanted to go. I sometimes  think I've created directions to a place when in fact I have not. It gives me a chance to remedy that.   The readers are part of my inspiration for what I do.   Though I don't give specific directions to every place I visit I sometimes will if asked privately through messenger or email.   An example was a recent request for a "general address" for the Rock Creek Double Trestle.
