If you are only in Hickory you'll have to take a drive up to the mountains and pay us a visit in Franklin sometime!

Welcome aboard from 45 minutes west!
I used to live in Mountain View, graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne, and worked at a church in Hildebran. You're not alone!

Have to do it next year. I'm planning on going next year and stay the whole time and camp there.

Looking forward to going to DragonCon this Labor Day in my new kilts. As well as the Carolina Renaissance Festival in the Fall.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome!

When you make that trip to Franklin to see Matt plan on stopping in Asheville!

And you won't be the only one at DragonCon in a kilt! I'll be there, too, and all my wife's girlfriends who are attending have demanded that I not bring any trousers.
