A Great Day With Sgt Tropo and Wife
When I found out he was visiting the Smokies after retiring last week I sent him an e-mail and invited him to take a day and see Max Patch Mountain. I met him and his lovely wife, Rusty in the town of Hot Springs, NC and Guided them to Max Patch. After seeing me in my Psycovet T-shirt she asked Bob how well he knew me. He told her he only knew me from the internet and you know what they say about chat rooms. It is about twenty miles from Hot Springs to Max Patch and the roads get narrower and more deserted as you go. Rusty swore she saw the place they filmed Deliverance. Anyway, after getting there and climbing up to the top of the hill, they both told me it was everything I had said it was: 360 degress of Smoky Mountains. We stopped back in Hot Springs. It is your average Hillbilly town, you know, Guiness on draft. We had pizza and I had me a couple of Guinesses. They are off to flatter land and maybe even Beaufort, SC. They were great folks.
