Well, that explains it. I just KNEW there had to be a reason! I guess we met so many friendly, helpful people down there that vandals never crossed my mind.

Nancy and Rosemary thanks for the recent discussion on road signs in Scott County. As you all read I had to send this on to my cousin Mike with a laugh. On a serious note though information such as this is very helpful for those of us that live out of state. I appreciate knowing about the lack of signs because my BAKER family (who married into the Trammel family) hopefully will one day make a trip back to Jellico Creek area in the near future. I'll get the GPS out !! Thanks again, Janet At 08:30 AM 9/11/2007, you wrote: >Well, that explains it. I just KNEW there had to be a reason!
