Greetings from the Asheville Watershed in Western North Carolina!
This postcard captures a stunning view from the top of Potato Knob of the Asheville watershed, a sight visible along the Blue Ridge Parkway between Asheville and Mt. Mitchell. The date on the postcard reads July 30, 1972, and it seems to be a message from Tara to her friend Clarice.
Tara mentions that they are at Hugh Morton in Linville, N.C., and that they are with a group of six young people on their way to a missioning conference. They have been following Marilyn’s car, which has been experiencing rain every day since they left their starting point in Zanesville. Tara promises to write a letter later but wanted to send a quick note to say hello and send her love.
It’s fascinating to think about the journey Tara and her companions are on, traveling through the beautiful landscapes of North Carolina and facing the challenges of the weather along the way. The postcard serves as a snapshot of a moment in time, a glimpse into a bygone era of handwritten correspondence and travel adventures.
As we admire the view on this postcard, we can also appreciate the connection it represents between friends and the shared experiences that bring people together. It’s a reminder of the importance of staying in touch, even when miles apart, and the joy that comes from receiving a thoughtful message from a loved one.
So, as you gaze upon this picturesque scene from the Asheville Watershed, take a moment to think about the friendships that enrich your life and the memories you’ve shared with those closest to you. And perhaps, like Tara, you’ll be inspired to send a postcard or letter to someone special, keeping the tradition of handwritten communication alive in our digital age.
With warm regards from the Asheville Watershed,
[Your Name]
