  OMG. What an amazing story I love stories like this. I am a single woman 65 years old, who bought 7 acres and trying to carve out a life for herself. I don’t use a loom. I don’t know how to weave my own clothes or cloths. But there for about seven years, I’ve lived in a little camper, hauling water from the well and using extension cord from the electric pole to have a light. I use a single burner hot plate to cook a meal. I can watch something on my little TV. But it doesn’t matter I don’t have the luxury that a lot of people do I have land and I pray to God, nobody takes it from me.

  The land was not destroyed in the name of progress. &nbsp;It was destroyed in the name of greed.

  I am 80 years old. &nbsp;When I was 13 my family visited this area and we went to where the last two sisters lived in their cabin. &nbsp;We didn’t go in or meet them but I’ll never forget the beauty of the valley and the rough road up the mountain to their cabin. &nbsp;I have great admiration for their choices in life!

  My grandfather was a neighbor to the walkers. He attended school at that little greenbriar schoolhouse. <br>He had a homestead close by that was taken by the park service in the 1920s. My great grandfather also had a homestead there. &nbsp;Was a sad time for my ancestors.
