  1. My parents owned 210 acres on the silver hollow side of SilverHollow Notch Mountain in the early 60’s. In good weather my brother and I would walk over the notch to catch the school bus to Hunter Elementary. No trail at the top of that mountain then.

    1. Hi, George! I know we’ve chatted about this before. Glad to see you back here. Hope the photos jog some good memories.

A mix of 3G and LTE on this route, once you gain a little elevation. My network is Verizon. YMMV.
