Man.. goooood beautiful sunday morning all our friends, fam and followers.. life is good. Be beautifully kind.. be positive. Spread positive vibes. The trail is a magical place and man if a person comes here to find their soul and they open their eyes and ears and stay quiet i promise they will find themselves and more, but the person has to want to find the change.. k. So yesterday was a long morning. Mary and I had spent the last week protecting our kingdom from theives that want to deprive us of our hard work and money. Hehe.. that is how i see our business and man we have to protect jordan and others that work for us cause that is part of our job and promise to our employees that we will keep money flowing through and work so we can all pay our bills and be outstanding citizens. Mary and I spent the last week planning our strategy to beat the "chargeback kid" so mary and I were absolutely wrecked by exaustion from working triple time and me i do not sleep well when someone is trying to cheat us and i will stay up all night studying our enemy and finding out who they are as a person and what they are about and i will make a game plan with mary and after we try and do what we plan. Aaaaanyways... we had an noc to wayah bald yesterday morning and after mary dropped the riders she came back to georgia and met a man to grab some sourwood honey and we were supposed to get some purple honey, but that did not work out on the purple honey, but we did get some really nice sourwood honey with a really nice smooth taste.. melt in your mouth honey like butter or a smoooth perfect temp. Gelato. The purple was not what we were looking for so we left it behind and i went to a farm in north carolina that has the purple honey and bought two ounces of it for 60 bucks with delivery. From what i have been reading purple honey only happens on nc and they say it is from the kudzu, but i also read that they have done scientific atudies and it may be from the aluminum in the soil reacting with the bee hives, bees, honey. There is more to it so if you are interested in reading about it check it out on google search engine. The package will be here in a few days anf i will post it when it arrives. We are excited to try it out. Super stoked. After mary met the bee man she continued to neel gap where she met our second group and shuttled them to amicalola. We had picked the group up several days back at amicalola and shuttled them to gooch gap where they ended their hike last time they were here. We had assisted the hikers a few years back when they got caught in the dark without headlamps between cooper gap and gooch gap and so j-dan had assist and helped with lighting the way. The couple was back to break off another piece of the trail. So we dropped them a few days back at gooch and they made their way to neel gap where we met them and shuttled them back to their vehicle. Today mary and I will rest and make some gelato for the week and some friends and after mary will head out to meet out riders at noland creek trailhead in the smokys and shuttle them to tapoco lodge in robbinsville, nc. After shae will make her way back to georgia and we will make some food and enjoy some television and downtime. For me i will be manning the phones and doing what needs to be done in the back ground and making sure biscuit holds the chairs down aaand that he does not go without treats or food when he summons us.. hahaha. Man, i'm going to end it here and i want to make sure we thank everyone for supporting mary and i and the team.. we appreciate you all. Be beautiful.. one love. Peace
