About Cullowhee's Caney Fork

Some cats are just too cool for words. Therefore this post will be light on words! While showing a farmhouse out in the Moses Creek community just outside of Cullowhee, NC I spotted this very handsome cat reclining on the roof of his human's vehicle. Both he and my buyers were very tolerant to let me take advantage of the photo op.

Moses Creek is a farming community located within the Caney Fork community. Hard to believe that a short 10 minute drive takes you to the main entrance of Western Carolina University in Cullowhee! By the way, WCU is the home of the Catamounts. I wonder if this cool cat is one of their descendants?

Sure, it looks like a big rock. Nothing special? Completely special! This huge rock sits not far from Western Carolina University. The special thing is that it is covered with hieroglyphics from the Cherokee people thousands of years ago. It sits outside of a beautiful pasture and is protected by a simple link chain.

How great to live and work in an area and be able to visit these pieces of history while showing properties! This rock sits unmolested by graffiti - a marvel in and of itself. No one has been able to decipher the paintings yet, but wouldn't it be fascinating to know what this rock has to tell us?

Not far from this rock, construction was recently halted when workers discovered another Cherokee treasure trove. Archaeologists are examining the artifacts now and the public is being very respectful while they do so. It's so exciting to know that we are just one more layer of a rich history.

Enjoy the photo and imagine the message.
