    John Henry / The lengend?

    Country folks are all like that, they gawk and talk. Good fishing around there. You sure about the kid & banjo? Maybe they were just in awe of you...couldn't figure out why a mule skinner was comeing home without a hot rod trailered behind his car.

    Problems with a purchase.

    Why didnt you ask the guy to simply return the check to you and then replace it with a USPO money order. I only use those when dealing on line as then fraud is a federal offence. Tell him he can wait on your money order once the check is sent back or forget the deal.

    Pax is a very nice place with a great little dinner. That exit takes you to a lake and a reclaimed trout stream that I fish often thanks to the Upper Paint Creek Asc. Yes, the tolls suck but much is being done to keep the toll road authurity and replace the hacks that get fat from it.

    I have been there also. The monument stands on a mountain above the tunnle portal out side of Hinton, a big railroad town on the C&O main line. The C&O had shops there. It is still a wonderfull place to visit on the Greenbrier River and with Pipestem State Park and Blue Stone Damn near by.
