well of to uwarrie by wagon ,we hooked our mules at my wagon buddys house(ronald tash hudson)and headed into asheboro first stop golden corral for lunch .after lunch we headed down to happy hollow where we met mr. king ,he had a great place for us to camp by the lake .the next day our friend bernie (river earth.com)had come to ride with us so off toward uwarrie with mr. kings team of pony mules along with us .as we were riding along bernie asked can you get on top of this wagon ,i said i dont see why not boy did we get some strange looks with bernie on thr roof while going down the road but it made some good pictures.we had found a place to camp at abner just a cross road .while being camped there we met one of the most amazing wemon i have ever met ,she said my name is miss iva and this is my farm .we found ourself talking to her for hours .she said i am 93 years old and i have lived here all my life ,it was such a joy to talk to her about old times .after leaving her house the road became steeper as we headed up to a road named low water bridge .i would soon find out why the name as we rounded a curve on a steep hill there it was a narow bridge with no guard rail well no turning back with little room to spare three mule abrest we went across .we then came to a place called coggins gold mine just as in the movies thre it was a goast town .the old hotel stood on a hill all boarded up across the road the store and black smith shop stood it looked like no one had been there in years .after sitting on the old hotel steps for a break we headed out for 4b farm in uwarrie. mr. king and bernie had to leave so tash and i headed out a differant way down a road named king mountain i dont think there was a flat place on it .we made our way out to pisgah covered bridge and camped for the night .only one day left as we headed out down to asheboro to the pancake house for dinner then off to the end of the drive (that just happens to be the name of ronalds farm)
