Visiting Alleghany County High School

Dolly needed some exercise. Our old high school, aka Alleghany County High School, has a nice football field that is not being used for anything at the moment. So after some discussion and noting that the field looks pretty good, Dolly decided to run.



I watched and reminisced about the wonderful years that ended when I graduated in 1969. Things have changed, but much is the same.  Memories brought things to life again.
I could hear the chant of some of those old cheers. The ten, the 20, the 30 yard line...



It was a time when we marched to the beat of a more youthful drum. I remember the beat.
(Mr. Boone here still has a pretty good drum.)

Those of you who attended school at ACHS will remember the Country Club and golf course next to the school.  The club house is now a private residence.  I do not know who owns the land the course was on, but it has been turned back to Mother Nature.









It sure makes for a nice walk.  And if you are up to it and your drum roll is still strong, you might even consider jogging.  Warning: the old cart path is tempting, but the ticks are terrible. Something else caught our eye.  There is a tree stump near the entrance to the school that has some great growth on it.





I enjoyed the opportunity to go back in time and to see how things have changed.  Then there is the now, which is nice, too.
