that lets you travel,sc! It does help to get away, even if just for a while.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It helps.
Yeah, my daughter knows that in her head, but she still deals with it emotionally. Thank you for those words, though. The kicker for her is that she was "born and raised" there, just like them so far as she could figure, but her family wasn't, so she was still treated differently.
The gay community I was speaking of is an offshoot of Short Mtn., called Ida, that's way up at the head of Dry Creek in Dowelltown. We used to call this place Whippoorwill Hollow. It is so gorgeous. There's a waterfall up there that is breathtaking. (I used to live in one of the houses up there way back when... my daughter was conceived in that house.) It's not as big or as well-known as Short Mtn., but it's part of the same group of people. Way back then, Short Mtn. was a commune, just not a gay commune. I remember all kinds of people who lived there. I know the story of the place going way back to the early 70s. Interesting stuff.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing with me, and for making me think about those old memories.
