The Sand's Castle Is On The Road Again!
It's been a long while since you've heard from us, I know. We've spent the last couple of months in Marion, North Carolina at an RV service center/campground, without readily-available internet access, so was not able to keep the blog updated. We had one long episode of waiting for parts to be built, then installed; as we were ready to depart, we discovered one of our slide-out motors was not functioning! Well, these parts are not ...

This year for Fall Break, I decided to head to an area of Tennessee I had only ridden through once as a 10 year old. I don't even remember anything from that trip.

The Forest Service map shows the Devil's Hole Trail crossing the Linville River at this point, but an obvious crossing spot was not clear. This was going to be tricky! After scouting a bit, we identified a series of shallow ...
