We don't have as many as I would have liked, but I think we have great excitement ahead in chosing our favorites.

Prelims start tomorrow at noon and will run until Saturday, noon.

Finals Sunday 9am
to Tuesday 9 pm all EST

Before I go about creating the prelims, let me introduce you to a little stranger I met in Pisgah Forest last week.



I'm guessing his name is Oliver...that stands for "more..."
though he is not an orphan.

I think it's his Dad's hand.

GOOD LUCK to everybody !
