Beamer, my neck of the woods. I live off Hwy 74 on the way to Lake Lure. While not a regular church going man I did go to Calvary Episcopal once. I used to coach at Cane Creek Middle School and about half the kids were from Arden.
Keith, Squamish rocks. I did feel like an oldster. Everybody looks about 25 and they're all on bicycles or roller skates or something (of course Asheville's a lot like that, too). I had the best sockeye salmon I've ever tasted while there. Shannon Falls was amazing. I was camping on the shores of the sound a few miles south. Gorgeous. I'll definitely return sometime.
