Good morning Greta,
I just joined the Permie forum after attending the prepper online summitt this past week. I have been prepping for a while. About 10 years. My husband and I live in rural Virginia ...about 6 counties east of you. I am 54 and he is 48........We both enjoy camping and in fact are headed to Unicois State Park (Helen Georgia), the 3rd week in June this year to camp at a family reunion.
On our way either down or back.......we would love to stop by and visit with you for a few hours. Maybe meet for coffee in town or whatever is convienent to talk about mutual interests....Permaculture, homesteading, gardening, crafting, canning, preserving, mountain music, being prepared, just whatever......
I used to live in Jiles County, Virginia above you in the Blue Ridge.......in fact at the bottom of Mountain Lake. I was a banquet chef there and lived in a cabin. These days i mostly work at home chopping wood for our stove, gardening, sewing, cooking, preserving and studying about natural medicines. I am an avid believer in raising or wild crafting ones own herbs and plants for use as medicine. I have gathered a nice library of resource information.
To the point........Rob and I want to eventually re-locate or establish a retreat site in the mountains of Virginia.......maybe somewhere in the Pine Mountain Ridge or the foot hills of the Appalachias. Rob works for the DOC and their are 2 good possibliites for employment in or near that ridge system. WRSP and ROSP.
