nope...federal judge issued a preliminary injunction stopping land
acquisitions pending better evidence on environmental/wildlife impact.
it's interesting watching the military fight with struggling eastern nc
towns, poor farmers, and rich charlotte lawyers (who are working without
charge or fee), with one of jesse helms' handpicked judges right in the
middle. the navy never had a chance. g

I'll go with the poor farmers every time!




Contact me

will do. we'll walk a bit farther before we start fishing this
time...and, you did say you discovered a trail out didn't you? g

Yeah, I found two. One, is on the left side of the stream and you followed it to the
parking lot the last time; the other one is on the right side of the stream and it
goes up to the top of the falls, where ya cross to another trail up to the parking
lot.

Remember to bring a second pair of glasses, other than sunglasses, dry matches,
flashlight, dry change of clothes, GPS, and a BIG flask of single malt!


...probably in the next two or three weeks, and might have to be a saturday.

Sounds good to me, but I suggest that we get to the stream at the break of dawn! I
fished it back in the Spring, by myself, and it took me 9 1/2 hours. I skipped a lot
of the lower section and was not able to fish the last stretch due to an unplanned
lightning, hail and torrential rain storm. Of course, then I had to hike out the
trail and 2 miles of 181 Hwy back to my truck. I was beat for two days afterwards.

See ya soon, I can't wait to to do the death march boogie!
