Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott: The Sound of Silence

I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to Labor Day weekend, despite all of its hustle and bustle, because it always ushers in the fall season and a return to normalcy and quietude on the mountain. Hello darkness, my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you...

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott: Here Comes Summer

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott: Here Comes Summer

I’d like to begin this week with a seasonal sort of rhyme that goes sort of like this: Spring has sprung, and fall has fell. Now it’s summer and it’s hotter than…heck, yes, that’s it, hotter than heck, what the heck did you think I was gonna say? Well, there’s no...
