Here is what I found on the U.S. Forest Service website: If the U.S. Forest service oversees the trail from Damascus to the NC line then carry should be OK there. And if the post above by RinTin is correct, then the trail from Abingdon to Damascus is now OK as well. And I agree that the Creeper is one of the best bike rides around.

RinTN, Thanks for the reply and the info of the change that has been made in the rules/laws on the Creeper Trail. I plan on going up there in the near future for a ride up to White Top and what you posted has cleared up what I thought to be the rule as of now. Thanks again.

Does anyone know if it's legal to carry with a HCP on the Creeper Trail from Abingdon to White Top Mountain? Virginia honors TN permits so that's not an issue. At one time the trail between Abingdon to Damascus was posted as no carry, but from Damascus to White Top it was OK. Has there been any change to allow carry on all of the trail?

I know this bill was sent to "Summer Study" but does anyone know if it has been scheduled yet? I can't find anything on the Legislature website.

We went to AZ for the first time a couple of years ago on vacation and absolutely loved it. Phoenix was our first stop. When you move to Tenn. is there any chance you could bring your Governor with you? Maybe swap her for what we've got?

Too bad so many people never get around to reading our founding documents or contemplating what they mean.

CURTAIN RODS --- On the first day, she sadly packed her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases. On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things. On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining-room table, by candle-light; she put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar,and a bottle of spring-water. When she'd finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into the hollow centre of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. On the fourth day, the husband came back with his new girlfriend, and at first all was bliss. Then, slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing-out the place. Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which time the two had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked! People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit. Finally, they couldn't take the stench any longer, and decided they had to move, but a month later - even though they'd cut their price in half - they couldn't find a buyer for such a stinky house. Word got out, and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls. Finally, unable to wait any longer for a purchaser, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place. Then the ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for having the house. Knowing she could have no idea how bad the smell really was, he agreed on a price that was only 1/10th of what the house had been worth ... but only if she would sign the papers that very day. She agreed, and within two hours his lawyers delivered the completed paperwork. A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home ..... ... and to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain rods! I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?

This has been around awhile but I couldn't find it on here. So maybe some of you haven't seen it yet. Shows how recoil can ruin your day. This really is hilarious.

Thanks for starting my day off with a laugh! That is too funny!

When my kids were small we went to Myrle Beach, SC many years in a row. We always had a good time. Its been a few years now since we've been there but I would think that it is a very family friendly vacation destination that would serve you well.

I ordered a set of Caldwell muffs a few months ago from Midway USA for $17. I think that was a special price at that time. So far they have been amazingly good. I had never worn electronic muffs before and I will not be without them again.

That is hilarious!! ROFLMAO!!!

Due to the flooding in Nashville, there was no House Floor Session yesterday or today (They did not have a quorum). They are supposed to meet tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. (Assuming they can get a quorum) Any speculation on how this is going to affect the agenda?
