[Mccoypottery-talk] Welcome

Vicki,

Thanks for the words of encouragement re: my website. And your plans sound 
great! What a way to live! :-) I live in a small town not all that far from 
Nashville. I have family and friends there and I'm there on a pretty 
regular basis. So, if you're ever going to be in the Nashville/middle 
Tennessee area, let me know and I'll show you around. And that goes for the 
others on the list, too!

As far as "tourist attractions" goes in my county, there are about 1,800 - 
1,900 Amish people, and "The Farm" (a commune with a couple thousand 
left-over hippies from the late 60's). And then there's David Crockett 
State Park. You could go RV'ing there. It's a nice place --- more than 
1,100 acres. There's a good area for RV's with connections including 
everything from the basics to all the frills! There's tons of walking 
trails, bike trails, an archery range, a 20(something) acre lake where you 
can fish on one end while others are paddle boating and the kids are 
feeding ducks on the other, a big creek running through the park where, at 
one point there's a small waterfall, and at another point nearby there's a 
covered bridge to drive through. Other attractions at the park include a 
nice restaurant, an olympic sized swimming pool and a in-ground/permanent 
"kiddie" pool, an outdoor amphitheater, lots of playgrounds, baseball 
fields, an exercise trail that goes out into the woods with exercise 
equipment along the way (including instructions on how to use it, how to 
take your heart rate, what it should be at that point, etc.). There are 
always tons of deer as well as smaller wildlife to see, etc., etc., etc.

Y'all come! ;-)
