I'm heading for the hills in my Jeep CJ Up Horsemill Hollow early in the day. It's been raining most of the night But I'm in my Jeep, so that's alright. I'm still on paved road, but not for long Listening to the radio play a country song. Fog is a creeping up through the trees The sound of the creek is like music to me. I've been on dirt road now for a little while I passed the last house back about a half a mile. I guess it's time to put my Jeep in low And up around the hill I now can go. The next hill is rocky and steep But I don't care, I'm in my Jeep. Where others may turn around or stop My Jeep goes on, right to the top. On this January day it's a little bit cold. The weeds and leaves are brown and gold. The mountains and woods are full of sounds And yet it's peaceful all around. I guess I'll head off the mountain now And then I'll be back in a little while. For I am a mountaineer and the mountains my home And in West Virginia I will always roam. By Danny Sheldon |

Linda, I guess you can tell I liked my Jeep when I had it. I miss it but still go mountain riding, but now on an ATV. Glad you enjoyed the ride. Danny |

Danny~ Man o' man ... my kind of ride~ Wind in my face on the backroads... even made me think of 'shining' deer at night, just to see how many we could spot~ Makes me long for a trip back to the mountains of North Carolina ... and a long horseback ride up the mountain .. been awhile since I've done that ... maybe when the Springtime arrives ... I'll just have to plan a trip! *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
