mmmm Seneca! I love that place, seems sooooo crowded anymore.
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.

stood on the gendarme on a trip to Seneca with Charles Tabor a long time ago, had to cross the river on a hanging bridge made of 3 cables due to that storm that washed out every thing in the bottom, classic routes there

Charles lives in Grand Junction Co., he spends his time riding his dirt bike and 4wd thru Moab and the Monument areas, a liberal in a conservative bastion.
