the lost soldier the ultimate price to pay

it was the methodist church in cherokee that let me stay in the bunkhouse as i ride 19 north iam rideing thru the cherokee indian reservation its a poor area but the people seem content with their living situation you can hear nature and very little litter i made the ride into maggie valley north carolina and probabley one of the hardest climbs ive had the ride took me right over the great smokey mountains and some 9 percent grades the bluerdge parkway according to the priest here at living waters catholic reflection center who helped me with 20 dollars said the parkway was closed from ashville north carolina for some distance and thats where i had planned to catch it so iwll just head into the shanandoah valley of virginia its a beautiful day in north carolina
