Elkin, North Carolina
July 23

On our way back to South Carolina, we are stopping and finally getting a chance to see the new property purchased by good friends Betty & Clyde Gumpp.

It is 22-1/2 acres of wooded property on top of a hill with a fabulous view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. With lots of pines, oaks and dogwood, we could visualize the home they will build on the very top plateau, with a deck overlooking the valley and mountains in the background.
