My mind is not here today, it is somewhere in the future, a few years down the road, I do not see myself older than 50. I am walking down a path in Karrakatta Cemetery with a bouquet in my hand. Looking for the spot.

It will be a long trip for sure, about 30 hours, not couting layovers. I will still be in a jet lag fog and the sounds around me will make me jump. That last cup of coffee didn't help that much.

And my right eye will tear first. It always does.

I would make a vacation out of it, go all about ht ecountry and meet my friends.

I read just now about his funeral and the article said he was buried in Fremantle Cemetery. So I dunno, it will all settle out.

Reading about the memorial and seeing the pictures had brought back all the disbelief. Shit, he was only 28 years old.

I know exactly what you mean Jeff. I still am in disbelief

We saw Pilot Mountain and somewhere betwixt there and it our home, unseen to our eyes. I wished Jack and Rich and nameless others could have been there. Never enough time, to even stop and appreciate. We were being called by food and time.

I sure do wish I had been there too Truman!!! I hate missing times like these. I hope maybe this kind of trip might happen in the future and if so I will be there one way or another. It looks and sounds like it was so much fun.

I read somewhere that "Pilot Mountain" was the inspiration for the name "Mt. Pilot," which was a town they talked about in Mayberry on the old "Andy Griffith Show."

That would be correct Jeff from what I have always heard. Mt. Airy is close to Pilot Mountain so it would make sense. Siler City exists too and in fact is where Aunt Bea lived her final years in real life. Other places in North Carolina are also mentioned such as Winston-Salem, Charlotte, Raleigh and even Asheville.
