Oh well...no worries Ern.
My nephew & I have always wanted to join the historic Overmountain trek, following the same route Shelby & Sevier took to the mountain/battle. Just thinking/dreaming of walking the same route our ancestor took makes the hair stand up on my neck! 
It'll be a grand trip I'm sure, and I can't wait to see the photos!
