Panther Creek State Park
PANTHER CREEK STATE PARK, Tenn., Sept. 13 (LFJ) - The road rolls out there, up there, hey, hey, ho, ho.

Legend has it that both Panther Creek and Panther Springs, located about 1 1/2 miles southeast of the park, received their names from the claim of a Colonel Bradley of Virginia who, while exploring the area, shot a panther here. The big cat fell dead into the spring.
I didn't see any panthers. There probably are none left in these parts since scared men killed them all. But there was a brave group of about five or six fawns feeding in the grass near the bath house as we pulled in about midnight last night. And we heard the sound of coyotes in the forest.
Read Scott Horton and the silly Birmingham News editorial today for the latest info and fun. No time for more blogging now at the Krystal hotspot. On to Virginia...

Remember to let me know when you're in DC, Glynn.
Too bad you didn't get to Cades Cove - maybe you went there when you were at UT?
They still have wild predators there. But then again, they have those at UT in the frathouses, too.

Hey Yana,
You mean Cades Cove. Yes, I've been there many times.
But I wanted to be north of Knoxville for the approach to Virginia and the assault on Washington. Give me a call on the cell.
It's been hard finding a fast enough wireless Net connection to get into Webmail, which is what I have to use on the road. Having a Black and Tan at Dupont Circle at the moment, waiting on Louis Lane to wake up from a post-Congressional interview and nap.
