Thanks, Jim! I am pretty lucky that I have the whole Cherokee NF right nearby and the Smokies are just a short drive away.

Happy New Year Todd... perfect way for you to start off a new year. Wow, that rhododendron, I'd love to see that path in spring.

[@ToddDerrartist]

Thanks, Mason! It's profuse around here.

Happy New Year brother! Enjoyed you taking us along! Yeah, that was some good looking quartz. I could see the sulfides rotting out of it. One of the signs for gold deposits. Any in the area?

[@ToddDerrartist]

Yes, this area near Coker Creek was active for gold mining and I think there are still some folks prospecting.
Thanks for watching brother!

I wish someone would give him a couple million for one of his paintings so he wouldn’t have to walk around the woods like an old hermit.
