Remembering Rex 14

•

And then there were our yearly May road trips to Chota, the Cherokee peace town. We went to honor the grave of Oconastota, the great Cherokee Warrior Chief who died there with peace in his heart in 1783 and in the afterglow, we listened for cricket frogs and chuck-will's-widows in the twilight. 

Rex McDaniel often went with us to be in that sacrosanct place on the lake, to be in the moment.

And make sure you listen to Jason Dykes recording at the end made that night in 2013.
