We`ve been watching with interest the Cherokee Scout articles about the Great Smokey Mountain Rail Road owner`s desires to bring a scenic train into Murphy.  As for us, we LOVE trains, and think this…Continue

Has there been a list compiled of "points of interest" around Murphy? It would be nice to have as a guide to things, like the best waterfalls, swimming holes, hiking trails, good fishing spots, high…Continue

Jim and Debbie, I've been up that fire tower quite a few times, but it's been many years ago. I don't think I'm up to walking up all those steps right now. (Although that sounds like a great goal for next…

I see in the Cherokee Scout that the fire tower on Panther Top will be open to the public Nov 5th and 6th for fall leaf viewing. Will you be taking your camera up there? If you do, we`d LOVE to see the results! Jim & Deb

Don`t know if you saw in the Cherokee Scout, that the fire tower will be open to the public Nov. 5th and 6th for fall leaf viewing! If you`re not up to climbing all those stairs, perhaps you could talk Dena into taking her camera up?

I just checked my calendar. I was here all day Tuesday. I guess it's farther to the range than I thought, cause I didn't hear anything.I've been told that when I have my nose in a book that the house could burn down around me and I…

It seems you should`ve heard it! We weren`t the only ones there shooting either. It was about 11 AM on Tuesday. That was the day we went to the county offices, the contractors, the Tue. flea market, the range, then STILL went and burned some more…

Whew! Just missed it by "that" much! (grin)   That reminds me, I shot some video this spring about the target range and never edited it into an uploadable video. That's something else I need to do.    500 rounds in an…

LOL! Deb says "You bet I`d put his ass to work! At the very least I`d have him stoking the fire and cooking the Brats!"  I forgot to mention that in between all the work, we did get up to Panther Top range. Deb and the boys shot…

Wow! You really were busy! I'm half-way glad I didn't see you, because you would have tried to put me to work!    Sounds like you're making good progress.    I'll look forward to seeing you next visit and…

Thanks John! We`d love to see it! I wish we could have seen you, we were there last week from Saturday till Thursday morning. We did manage to cram 2 weeks worth of work into a few days though. Saturday was our community meeting up there. On Sunday,…

Good morning, Jim and Deb.   Last week, while I was out driving around, I did some exploring and found your future slice of paradise in Degatide. I shot video of the leaves going from Sandy Gap down to your property and back and I'll be…

Jim and Debbie, I've been up that fire tower quite a few times, but it's been many years ago. I don't think I'm up to walking up all those steps right now. (Although that sounds like a great goal for next year!)

 

Dena's been a busy girl, lately. Her business is booming and she's working all the time, so I don't think she's open to my persuasion about it. (grin)

I should have some time Sunday to edit the video about my adventure all the way to the land of Degatide! I'll get it uploaded as soon as I can.

I've been told that when I have my nose in a book that the house could burn down around me and I might notice.

I don't need a day as busy as you had! I'm very happy it was you and not me. (grin

500 rounds in an hour! It's a wonder I didn't hear that from here. Sounds like fun.

Sounds like you're making good progress. 

 

I'll look forward to seeing you next visit and I'm betting a fire and hot cider will go good in February. (grin)

 

I'll get that video edited and uploaded in a few days. It's kind of hectic here, right now. Lots of work-related stuff that all needs to get done yesterday.

Good morning, Jim and Deb.

 

Last week, while I was out driving around, I did some exploring and found your future slice of paradise in Degatide. I shot video of the leaves going from Sandy Gap down to your property and back and I'll be uploading it in a few days so you can see what your drive will be like in the fall when you move here.

 

I hope you like it, when I get it edited and uploaded.

Happy birthday, Jim and Debbie! It's amazing that both of you have the same birthday. (grin)

Seriously, I hope whichever of you is having a birthday today has a great day!

I had a minor setback the last 24 hours, but everything is going much better tonight. Looking forward to walking more and sitting in a chair now that I'm tethered by fewer tubes!

Thank you JD and Kelly! We`re looking forward to visiting again in February, and in June. We`re "gearing up" with warm clothes!

Good morning, Jim and Debbie.

Welcome to our friendly little online community for people who are interested in Murphy.

That's a nice collection of old gas pumps and Coca-Cola products you have in your collection, as shown on your website.

If there is anything I can do to help you get more from Murphy Connections, please let me know.

All the best,

JD
