Odd Finding
A couple of weeks ago, Kenny was out to give a quote for fixing the door. While we were talking, he asked, "So have you ever found any Indian stuff here?"
"Nope. Not a thing."
"Years ago, before all these houses were here, a friend of mine came up here to do some hunting. He said there was stuff all over the place up here."
"Really?"
"Yeah, this creek," Kenny said pointing to the creek behind our house, "is year-round. They were up here all the time. If you go down the creek a ways and past the waterfall, he said there were caves. He said the floors of them are covered in arrow heads, hatched, and spear tips."
"Wow."
"I asked him if caught anything when he got back, and he said, 'no.' I asked him if was gonna come up here again and he said, 'hell no, there Indian stuff all over, I ain't goin' near it,'" Kenny said.
We talked a bit more, but I never got a straight answer about it. The conclusion I came away with is that the Indian stuff is cursed or bad mojo, and no one with any sense would mess with it. A lot of the people in Pope County, particularly the long time residents (4+ generations) are at least a little Indian (Cherokee for the most part), which could have a lot to do with it. Something to think about, a cursed house on cursed land.

So when are you gonna hike down there to the creek and see for yourself? :) Or do you think that's tempting fate a bit too much?
I might if the conditions were right. It would have to be good weather and during the day. There is too much wildlife out there. I wouldn't take Gideon by myself to be sure. Maybe invite some friends out some weekend and take a hike?
To be honest though, I'm not feeling lucky.
Merry Christmas, John and family!
