Yes, It looks like where you live is the complete opposite end of the state (from Memphis)... Someday I would love to drive the Appalachian Trail... sounds fun to me!

Hi Cara, Thank you for the friend add. I vacationed in Memphis a few years back and had a great time (I don't know if Kingsport is near Memphis)... Anyways, hope all is going well for you in your 12th year of Diabetes.

Cheers!
