observation

A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.
--Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) American abolitionist, women's suffragist, editor, orator, author, statesman and reformer

  1. Mark,

    Thank You for your incredible blog. It is a real inspiration esp. for me. We have tent camped at Linville Falls Campground for a week, almost every year since 1965. We use it as a base camp. I was born in Brevard and have native roots around Patterson, so it is home sweet home.

    Your quotes are superb. I post you on Facebook regularly.

    Thanks again!
    Bob
