As a Mother, and Grandmother I want to say to all of you young people what I tell my grown children, when you go hiking, or travel around the Country...
Never tell strangers who ask you personal questions like, where are you from, where are you going, how long will you be out etc.
Never answer any of the their questions "Truthfully." There are people who target those who answer their questions Truthfully.
Do not trust anyone you just met on a road trip, hiking, camping etc. Trust is "earned, " and only given after you have known someone for some time and that person has earned your trust.
This is coming to you with concern, care, and the wisdom of years of experience. Go out and do al those things, but be smart! No one needs to know you're artinery. 9 times out of 10, good people will not ask you these type of questions because they themselves would never give out that information to anyone, but family and friends.
Have a great 3 day weekend everyone! 🤗😻💖😘🇺🇲🇺🇲🍻

I’m from the Appalachian Mountains 🏔 in East Tennessee. Love these stories.

[nathankiefer]

I grew up in the mountains of east Tennessee, in the very small town of Sunbright. I often liked taking hikes. One day i went out on a long hike. While walking up the center of a little valley i noticed a weird group of rocks, about 3 feet high. It looked like a makeshift grave or something except in the top there was a little dome of rocks with a hole to reach in, and inside it was weirdly dark. Id never seen anything like this and i was curious but it freaked me out a bit. I literally thought "this is some horror movie shit, i aint putting my hand in there" and kept walking. Eventually i turned around and started taking the same way back, you have to follow your own trail back or its easy to get lost. Never saw it on the way back even though i was looking and decided i wanted to investigate it more. Too bad we were poor and this was the early days of cell phones, wish i had a picture of it

[thecrepeofdeath]

the first one is pretty sad. I hope the person in the cottage is safe. they were probably homeless and found that place already abandoned, if it was that run-down.
