[AT] OT: A chance to show off the place I call home

[charlie hill]

Thanks Charles,  I looked it up right after I sent the other message.  I 
knew it was over there between Charlotte and Ashville somewhere but couldn't 
remember how far west and if it was north or south of I-40.  It's probably 4 
1/2 hours or so from here on a good day.

Charlie
