Deer John letter

         One of our dedicated readers, John Hangen of Aroostook County, Maine, about as far north as you can get in the continental U.S., has reported from a road trip he and wife Ann are taking on the way to Florida.  He sent some great photos from the Stonewall Resort in West Virginia where, he writes, the temperatures hit a balmy 70 degrees plus last week.

         The state of West Virginia, perhaps mimicking the successful experiment in Alabama, where the Robert Trent Jones Trail has solidified the state teachers' pension, owns Stonewall.  The Stonewall golf course is one of those dramatic Arnold Palmer layouts, although this one appears to show The King a bit more restrained (if the pictures don't lie).

         John and Ann had plenty of company during their golf round at Stonewall, as the photo below attests. The photo at bottom indicates they also played a nice looking golf course.

         Safe travels to them both.
