Friday, turned out to be a very interesting day. It was an early start. We headed out just after 8am. We had an 8:45 show at West Wilkes Middle School in Wilkesboro, NC. It went fairly well for such an early show. The response was good, and we had a good time. After we finished up, we had to do a quick tear down and pack to hurry to the next school ( Read more... )

Thursday, woke up a little after 10am. James was already up, Mike woke up soon after. We all got the grand tour of the farm. Vern has a sawmill that he built himself from the ground up.

Ok, the way I'm going to TRY to do this is to break it down day by day. It will work and be nifty if I'm able to keep up with it. I'm going to try my best, but as touring is new and exciting to me, I make no guarantees as it's a blast and the things that are happening seem to be very easy to get wrapped up in. Lo and behold, here is the daily tour ( Read more... )
