WhitesCreek Journal

Thoughts to share from White's Creek gorge.

I suppose it's on to Blackberry Winter after this...

Whites Creek: East Tennessee, United States; I live as deep in the woods as I can, on the banks of White's Creek where it cuts through the edge of the Cumberland Plateau. It's a good spot for someone who loves people but gets enough of them from time to time. My wife and kids put up with my eccentricities well enough and seem to like where we live, even though we have to drive a good bit to live our active lifestyle. It is the one incongruity of my existence. Our house is a passive solar design with an electrically heated hot tub. Contradictions are everywhere, but we do what we can. We have a resident Eagle population in the gorge that salutes us most mornings with a fly by during coffee. It's a good spot to live.
