Signs along the way…
Β If you find yourself in Mt.Airy and are looking for a healthy walk, jog, run or bike ride, look no further than the Granite City Greenway.
The elevation levels in the above screen shot displays just how flat / manageable this stretch of the Loop is.
Keith Huffman is seen here wearing a pretty special Polo Shirt that he was kind enough to let me have a hand in designing.
The first time I came in contact with Mr.Huffman was last year when the folks at the B.R.O.C were putting the finishing touches on their Annual Golf β³ Tournament down in Elkin, North Carolina.
Here is a bit more about the Organization!
By the time that I stumbled across this group of dedicated Community leaders they were heading down the home stretch of their 2023 Golf outing. I was able to jump in at the last minute as an additional Sponsor and mentioned to Keith that if they could remember us in 2024 we would like to get involved in a greater manner.

Sponsor Banner for 2024
We are excited about this group and the work they are doing in and around their Community. I encourage anyone that lives in the area that might be looking for a group to get involved with to do a little research on them.
Our Team for the Big Day! Alan Knight, Chris Carter, Marion Harris and myself.
Playing a round of Golf β³ at CedarBrook Country Club last Wednesday was just the icing on the cake π. We were part of the early Morning π Shot Gun start and the day was full of memorable moments.
Landed just beyond the 18th green while we were playing #18
A number of Media outlets had reported on the amazing efforts of retired NASCAR driver Greg Biffle. Since Hurricane π Helene struck the area, Biffle has used his helicopter π to fly rescue missions in and out of the region. Getting to see Greg land his bird a few yards away added a layer to that story.
The patch on one of the two sleeves to the Polo Shirt πHere is the other sleeve and the color chosen…
Two years are now in the books π and the future is never promised but I sure hope that are paths cross again.
