Could this be related to George's recently announced vacation?

I haven't spotted this announcement.
Perhaps he didn't want to tempt fate:smile:

Scott will be there. I'm in the N.C. mountains.

:omg:

Hmmm, that sounds suspicious. I seem to remember someone else claiming they were on holiday hiking in the mountains around there when they were actually flying off to Argentina to meet a mistress. Call the press!

They have MOUNTAINS in N.C.??? :surprised

Sort of...
 

They're kind of only the highest peaks east of the Mississippi River. The highest point in N. C. is almost 6700 feet up. It's amazing what a large east-west axis will do for the topography of a state; you get a little bit of everything.
