Happy birthday!

Good morning, Sheryl & Greg,

It's really easy to get to the River Walk. There are many points of access.

If you go to Konehete Park, there are a number of trails that lead from the parking areas over to the river, and, as far as I know, all of them connect to the River Walk.

On the other side of the road from the Park, you'll see the new health club and swimming pool. You can park anywhere in that area and walk to the river to get to the River Walk. Next to the tennis courts, you'll see a walking bridge over the river. The River Walk extends to the right on the other side of the river at that point. Walking to your right will take you back towards the north side of Murphy and all the way to the L&N Railroad depot. (I haven't walked that part of the trail, yet.)

I don't know how to get to the River Walk from the depot. That's one of the things I want to do when I get my car running again.

There's also a parking lot for the River Walk on McClelland Street at the foot of the hill near the Cherokee County Health Center. If you walk to the left, you'll be going towards the depot. Walk to the right to go towards Konehete Park.

I'm looking forward to Irons In The Fire on Sunday, October 5, at the Folk School. This is the time of year I start humming one of their earlier songs, "When the frost kills the kudzu..."

Maybe I'll see you there. I'll be one of the biggest people there with a gray beard and red-white-and blue suspenders. I'm hard to miss.

Hope you have a great trip getting here. Be safe.

Good morning, Sheryl.

While there is nothing wrong with hunt and peck typing, it can be slow and frustrating.

I've been a busy boy this week and I don't think I made it to Murphy Connections even one time, yesterday. That's very unusual for me. So, I'm just now seeing your reply. Don't think I was ignoring you. (grin)

It's nice to hear that you've been visiting us for awhile and then decided to join us.

Currently, we seem to be going through the doldrums without all the usual interactions in our community, but it's summertime and there's lots of things to do that don't include playing on a computer. Who knows, maybe some of our members are visiting those flea markets you'd like to know about.

I'm sure it will pick back up, soon.

All the best,

JD

Good evening.

Can you tell me if I'm talking to Sheryl or Greg?

I've been visiting Murphy for 40 years, or more, and have lived in this area for about 25 and I continue to be impressed with the friendliness of the people I meet. Not everyone is friendly, but the great majority are.

We're still a new online community with only a few dozen members, but we're slowly growing. I'm always happy to welcome a new member and try to help when I can.

The stats show that a lot more people are reading our site than joining in, so that's encouraging, too.

I hope someone who knows more about it than I do responds to your flea market question. If you don't get an answer in a couple of weeks, try responding to the discussion and asking again. A different group of people may see it.

Thanks for joining in.

JD
