Spent many, many days and nights there. Was married and spent our honeymoon there in 1975. The lodge had just been sold to some men from Chicago who were examining the property during remodeling. They were so glad we came they gave us the honeymoon suite for free for 9 days and complimentary meals. What a great time we had. So young and easily swayed. lol
I live just a half hour from there now in the house I was born in.

Just barely visible in the image is one of my Sansui speakers. I may still have my reverberation amplifier, top shelf on the right around here somewhere but the rest is long gone.

Ironic. I finally tossed out my original Sansui amp last week after not using it for decades. Still have other Sansui stackables, including a turn table, wired to monster sized speakers.

Nice. Been wanting to catch one of those for a while, eastern diamondbacks around here.
You are much braver than I am and I'm into herpetology.
I catch every one I see but I don’t harm or treat them carelessly. Only recently handled a few copperheads. Rattlesnakes are in this area but scarce. I hear they’re really increasing in numbers out west.

Took some pictures today of my garden that keeps me busy all summer............Potatoes, Hubbard squash, various hot peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes.
Nice.
From yesterday, this was our first "garden" harvest:

The audio equipment I brought back from Okinawa. About half the price that they cost here in the USA.
Love the "reel to reel". My uncle used to have the Akia brand. Awesome sound!

I love the way the wires look on the look wall.

Another gem. The colors really pop.
