Sunday, March 9th, 2008Right around 2 years ago, there was an ugly storm that thrashed around the mountains of Big Canoe just after lunch and whipped a bolt of lightning smack dab into the middle of the Sconti Clubhouse.

Pepper, A New Friend in Big Canoe

The Jeep trail is a whole lot more satisfying when [...]
