**shudder** that bridge gives me the willies! I went White water rafting down the Upper Gauley river and we had to go over that bridge to get to the drop off point. That place is some purdy country right there! :mrgreen:
Hey Peppercorn, I was born in Huntington Hospital,lived in Melville and Smithtown,graduated from Half Hollow Hills HS East 79, my better half in Mather Hospital in Port Jeff , lived in Centereach whole life, graduated from Centereach HS 78. Our 2 kids were born in St. John's Espicopal in Smithtown. Of course, we started our first year here in Cary 16 years ago, and then after a year moved to Johnston county and have been here ever since, and absolutely love it. Miss the bagels and rolls and butter....... 2 kids, 1 boy with a bachelors degree, and one daughter going to be a college sophomore..... 2 4 legged furry protective dogs..... The American Dream......
About 25 miles or so closer to NC. I spent a bit of time hanging around in Summersville when I was younger. I lived between Rt 19 (going to Summersville) and Ansted (west on Rt 60/midland Trail) for most of my early years.
You should have been there when they were building it. Once the arch was finished you could walk the catwalk underneath if they did not catch you ... I know quite a few of the older guides on the river too. Never been whitewatering because of that knowledge ... There are catfish in the New River and Kanawha that are bigger than a man.
I ain't skeerd! :lol: But I ain't doing it again b/c if the walk UP the mountain carrying the raft after a day of merciless water torture. But the budwiser waiting at the top was like winning the lotto.8)
Peppers & Robbie well right back to you. I was bron at St John's in Smithtown. Lived in Hauppuage went to & graduated from Hauppauge High class of 87. I worked at Centereach Pizza Hut. I went to Sachem Prom class of 1988. My best friend graduated in 87 from Sachem. Liek you both relocated & did my time in Cary for a number of years b4 moving to JOCO. I have two other Hauppaugians that just moved here one is in Holly Springs the other in JOCO Waverly Point. I reside in Benson now. No more NY for me. Small world
Where I grew up was less interesting to say the least. Summersville has a hotel for example ... :lol: :lol: That is part of the reason I live here now too. Suimmersville is a speed trap but Ansted was a bigger one for much longer.
36 year old male and married exactly 1 year. No kids yet unless you count the dog. I'm originally from here (Selma) but moved to Pensacola, FL for 4 years until I moved home 1 month ago with my wife. She's a pensacola native so if anyone sees a half chinese woman driving slowly and looking like she's lost, be patient with her - she probably is lost.
