But I do like that moment when you realize that your eyes have adjusted and now you can see an amazing amount.Nancy/BLissed-Out Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223278142557533175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-64068615506604109052010-05-15T04:54:36.391-07:002010-05-15T04:54:36.391-07:00We travel often to Tennessee and the Chimney Top h...We travel often to Tennessee and the Chimney Top hike is one of our favorites!<br /><br />And Carlsbad Caverns is truly the epitome of darkness.

I enjoyed this. It got me recalling memories of Halloween. Of dark places. Of once being shut up in Mama's clothes closet, hiding, breathing her moth balls. <br /><br />Yes.

It would probably be best on a spring day when it's not raining, or a fall day, or a not too hot summer day. I don't know about winter because parts of the hike could be very perilous if there were ice and snow. The view is great and the formation itself is rather interesting.Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-27388796721711634182009-10-05T10:01:27.963-07:002009-10-05T10:01:27.963-07:00Next time we go to Tennessee I would like to take ...Next time we go to Tennessee I would like to take that hike.

Haven't been keeping up with him lately. I used to get something in the mail from his organization, but I never sent them any money or ordered anything so I guess they took me off their active list. But I'm sure I'm on all kinds of lists that government might consider or one day consider to be "subversive" and they could come get me whenever they wanted. So tracking me by my cell phone, which I'm sure they already do to some extent, or by my TV or computer, which they probably do, is just more evidence against me. But no big deal.<br /><br />As far as increasing your folloing, maybe you need to do some shameless self-promotion? I don't know. Three people is not much, but it's only been a week and a half. One of them is one of my daughters who was already a follower of one of her friend's blog. If it starts increasing at an amazing rate then I'll let know why if I can figure it out.<br /><br />Thanks for the input,<br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-42196590779264821002009-09-30T11:16:57.041-07:002009-09-30T11:16:57.041-07:00>>[Momentarily I recall hearing on the South...>>[Momentarily I recall hearing on the Southwest Radio Church program one time that the government of the "Beast" that will one day rule the entire world will be able to "watch" everyone in Big Brother fashion through the electronics that are always on in our homes.]<<<br /><br />"Please, dear reader, let this soak in!

It took me almost a year and half to acquire three Followers of my political Blog and nearly that long for my 'Stuffs' Blog, too. You're doing something right, that's for sure.
