I'm heading out in a couple hours to a little town called Burnsville in the northwest corner of North Carolina. I bought land there last year in the heart of the Appalachian mountains, just four miles from the eponymous trail I love so much. Eventually, when I can afford it, I'll build a little log home on that land and move down there full time to write away from the muse-sucking sprawl that is suburbia.
My land, let me show you it :-) (Click to embiggen.)

| The high-tech front gate to the private "road" that cuts through my property. |

| By far the coolest feature on the whole 30 acres, w/the woman I bought the land from posing for scale. |

| One of the views from the taller ridgeline on the property. |

| The entrance to my property, from the property looking out. |
In the meanwhile, I must content myself with occasional visits. I'll be gone until next Saturday. There is internet, and I will make my regular blog posts, but I won't be hanging round Twitter or the like very much until I get back to Jersey.
To make it up to you, have some eye candy, beneath the cut. Let's go with country boys today in honor of my trip :-)
I love you will eventually be in my neck of the woods!!! I live in the foothills on the other side of your mountain...practically neighbors. I've lived here all my life, have traveled a large part of the US, but have to say, this is about the most beautiful area to be found.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit. :)
I.love.your.land! That is beautiful! It has my camera calling out to me and gives me itchy trigger finger!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourself m'dear. :)
Oh, and your eye candy is coming home with me. Just sayin.
@Monika: Nowai! What town are you in?
ReplyDelete@Amara: When I get the house built (which, honestly, probably won't be for at least five years unless my books suddenly become bestsellers :-p), I'll throw a big open party for anyone who feels like hauling their ass down here. A little mini-convention in my giant backyard :D Everyone can bring sleeping bags and tents and camp outside, and we'll do a bonfire and s'mores and sexy campfire stories :D
Mmmmm s'mores at Rachels I'm there! :D
