I have three wonderful children; Christie, John and Alysa.  Christie graduated from Oklahoma State Univ.
and now lives in Connecticut.  John graduated from Georgia State Univ. and lives and works in Atlanta,
GA.  Alysa moved to Tennessee and attend
ed  Middle TN State Univ. Christie is in the computer
business; John i
s in marketing; Alysa is working as a hostess.

John has camped with me once and I have given him one of my tents (the one pictured on Henry Horton &
Mousetail).  I plan on taking Alysa out with me in the near future.  And if I can get my oldest to come down
below the Mason/Dixon, I'll take her too.

My home is Nashville but I have just recently retired and now working as a campground host to support
my camping habit.   My hobbies are camping, carving and caching. I  really  enjoy getting back out in the
woods.  Tennessee is a beautiful state and I wish I had moved back sooner than I did but now looking
forward to seeing other great sites across our nation.

I enjoy the peace and quiet nature has to offer.  This country of ours is so large and beautiful and there is
so much to see and savor.
A little more about me

I was introduced to camping when I lived in Wichita
Falls, TX
during the 6th grade.  My parents talked me
into joining scouting
and I had a blast.  I was lucky
enough to have an exceptional troop leader that
cared about our advancement. My father got

wrapped up in the troop as well and we would go on
any camping trip that was planned. I still have an
axe that  was awarded to me from that troop.
About Me
L-R My sister Vickie, mother, and CJ
L-R Alys John Christie
My father was in the Marines and my mother was a good ole country girl from middle Tennessee. I have
one sister, thank
goodness, that lives in Massachusetts, but I don't hold that against her (yeah, not
much).  We moved many times and lived in Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, California and Hawaii.  I
joined the Air Force after having way too much fun in college.  Stayed 22 years and lived in Lousiana,
Florida, Oklahoma, Hawaii and England. When I retired from the Air Force I moved to Dallas, TX and lived
there for 8 years before heading back to Nashville.
