      My area of the country Mark. My father, Isaac Tipton, was born in those mountains. He left as a child when he was ten years old for southeastern Pennsylvania. He met my Mother there and that's where I was born in 1941. This time of my life I go back to the "homeland" every year. I was just there in May (Upper Pigeon Roost, Green Mountain). Plan to go back this fall. Loveliest part of the country. Great website and blog Mark.
