Yeah, I really only know a few people from byc personally. This has been a great place to meet other chicken fanciers with common interests. I have learned allot in the short time I've been on here.

Hey everyone! Do any of you know where I can find some Standard Buff Cochins?

Hey! It is great to see new people in NC.

Roanoke is one of the places I really want to visit. One of these days.
We used to live in Jacksonville so we visited many NC beaches.
The mountains on the other hand I have never visited, just drove through.

there are some places up there in the mountains that are like turning back time. My husband and I road the Smoky Mountain Railway one 4th of July a few years back from Dillsboro to Bryson city. It was an eye opener to see multi-generaltional families living in trailers with no glass in the windows next to multi-million dollar homes. Ware county up along the NC/VA border has the highest unemployment rate in the state. 98%.

It is so beautiful up there. It's easy to get lost on a back windy road and end up in Tenn, or Va or even Ga. Rt 209 outside of Ashville over to Hot Springs. Any of the small get off roads along the Blue Ridge Parkway take you to places you never thought existed. We love to toss the cooler in the back. Add a couple sleeping bags and our hammock tents (check out Hennesey Hammocks), grab the dog and hit the road. Being rocked to sleep at night in a mountain breeze is the best nights sleep you will ever have!!

lol I did one of those backwood roads from Tn to NC... Lets just say make sure you have enough daylight left to finish! Those turns were tight.

And when you have no street lights or city lights it gets very dark in the woods.
It was a trip to remember though! lol

Crazyland thats a big part of the excitement and beauty of the back roads mountains or no mountains is the wilderness and the lack of 'civilized' look/amenities like street lights silly

.

I live out in the sticks though its simple to get out here really, but people are always turning somewhere wrong or dont go far enough or to far to get out here to my place and I'm confused, but I guess its cause the street signs aren't always there and they get nervous being on a stretch of country road for long - lol.

I'm not a very comfortable night driver myself, but I can handle out in the backroads better than somewhere busy cause the constant changes of light mess with me and can give me a headache (thus why i'm not real confortable with driving at night).

The mountains are gorgeous though and I haven't been for years, but I plan to take my 5 yr old this fall for the change of seasons and all the colors of the leave change.

That is THE best scenary in the world right there!

Sounds like 209, lol. There is one part where I swear I was looking in the back of my own truck going around the curve, lol. I think that curve is like 5miles an hour.


Coming down off one of those little git off roads on the Blue Ridge, I came eye to eye with a buzzard sitting in a tree, lol.

It's even more fun when it's raining and all the unknown waterfalls start flowing
