I got to stay a bit longer than planned for Christmas. We ended up going to see Ruby Falls one day...went up to Windrock another and took a trip to Cherokee, NC on one of my last days there.

Dude! That's my hometown! My grandfather, Roy Thurman, was the first tour guide there. Led the first group Dec 31, 1929. Stayed there until he passed May '69 ('cept for a brief vacation during WWII). There are a couple of pics of him in the lobby over by the elevator.
I used to spend the weekends there and play in the lobby and caves as a kid until he passed.
That's a ways from Ohio. Next time ya'll around give a yell. We can all go out for dinner or drinks.
