Still no excavators. I needed to go to Lowe’s and Ingle’s down in the Valley, so I took the scenic route through Franklin State Forest, and made a little detour down a rough dirt road to one of my favorite overlooks. From there I went to Kimball and bought a chainsaw chain sharpener, trailer jack, and hand winch at Lowe’s. In Jasper I bought some groceries at Ingle’s. It is a very nice store.
