I found that out when we moved to Jackson County from SoCal. It was culture shock for us in 1975 for sure.

They love to take their half in the middle.<br /><br />I haven't been here a long time. Just a couple of years. I'm only beginning to get to know my neighbors, who understandably view me as a dangerous-looking outlaw. It takes a while for some of them to figure out what a nice guy I am.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-14982996787614100572021-02-26T14:31:41.844-05:002021-02-26T14:31:41.844-05:00Motorcyclists have to take care up on those roads ...Motorcyclists have to take care up on those roads because a lot of the drivers up there take their own half out of the middle when going around the curves. I used to sometimes take the road through the Quebec community down to Hwy 64 or go on out 281 to Slick Fisher Rd and on into Lake Toxaway. <br /><br />As an aside...if you're a resident of the area up there, we probably know/knew some of the same people.

It takes a long time to get anywhere up in the mountains. None of the roads go where you want, because of ridges and rivers, and all of them are twisty and dangerous.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-55430302046998172082021-02-25T22:36:07.632-05:002021-02-25T22:36:07.632-05:00There was a mobile home at that big tree field.
