Return to the Mountain Beauty
 Rick Hughes 09

I HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL RAW EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE OVER THE 4TH OF JULY. AS I RETURNED TO THE ONLY ROOTED HOMELAND I HAVE EVER KNOWN, THE BEAUTY WAS UNMATCHED. THE SPLENDER OF THE LAND IS UNTAMED, THE ENTIRE PLACE IS GORGEOUS, SPINE TINGLINGLY, AWE INSPIRING. I KNOW I AM RIGHT, MY WIFE AND I HAVE TRAVELED, SEEN A LOT, AND WE ARE GOING TO SEE A LOT MORE, BUT SHE AGREED WITH ME THAT IT WAS EXCEPTIONALLY UNIQUE. ANOTHER OBSERVATION, IT WAS WONDERFUL TO SEE AND TALK TO ALL OF MY WONDERFUL FRIENDS ,MANY WHO I HAD NOT GAZED UPON FOR 45 YEARS. LETS HOPE WE CAN ALL MEET BACK THERE FOR MANY MANY YEARS IN THE FUTURE. I WANT TO ESPECIALLY THANK DARREL HARVEY AND AL MCLAUGHLIN FOR GETTING ME TO COME BACK. THAT IS THE SAME MCLAUGHLIN THAT I WILL SHORTLY CRUSH IN CHARLESTON WEST VA
