To inspire myself to write these words to accompany this footage shot at Cherry Grove Beach back in 2018, once again, I returned to my journal entries at that time.

In the months ahead, Beth and I are planning to relocate to Greenville to spend more time with Scott and do our best to move at least one mountain together. We do intend to return to Asheville in 2027, but we are very much looking forward to experiencing more of what Southern Illinois has to offer, starting soon.
Please return soon for more Rare Air.
