Bicyclists can also enjoy the fly fishing trail through N.C. too!
Fly fishing, biking, trail walks and hikes around my land, “shroom” hunting,  squirrel stew from my neighbors, country auctions, cool air over my sinuses and brow, all this and now you know why I move to my farm starting in April!!! Florida is grand from Dec to April and then-not so grand for us!!
Nothing tastes better than a wild turkey! They prove that what they eat is how they taste. Wild eats fresh, real and wild. Store bought frozen eat grain-think about it!

APtravelnews-September 18th-The Shelton House in Waynesville, N.C.–A feast for the eyes is how I best describe the Shelton House Museum and traditional crafts created by some of N.C. most talented craftsmen. This great place makes history come alive. It is also one of the over 40-plus stops on the Haywood County Quilt Trail. From the home and barn there is a wonderful window into how it all used to be in N.C. and today, there are many North Carolina folks who are working in and towards the traditional ways of their fathers and mothers by going back to the land and crafts of the past! Check out the website: www.sheltonhouse.org  Also give a call to Malinda Messer, Operations  Manager–1 828-452-1551 

Note** there are a vast number of Navajo Indian relics and antiques that were collected by Mr. Shelton housed in his home, now turned in the Shelton Museum!
