SPEECHLESS SUNDAY: Tell Me Something I Didn't Already Know!

By
Real Estate Agent with Tennessee Recreational Properties

I was expecting this sign this sign to be helpful!

Yesterday was a glorious early spring day here at the Big South Fork in Jamestown, Tennessee so I packed a lunch and set off with a riding buddy to explore a trail that we had not been on before. We had a good map and the Ridge Top trail is well marked, so where did we go wrong?

We obviously missed a turn because the horses had to clamber up a VERY steep hill, stopping every few steps to rest. I saw a sign on a tree at the top of the hill and since we were obviously lost, I expected it to provide some information as to where we might be, or where we might be going.

We were speechless for a few seconds and then we started to laugh. I don't know whether you say, "Oh, #?!T" when you're contemplating the descent, or when you've succeeded in ascending!

Clearly, we weren't the first!
