We use our feather bed on top of the mattress with a washable, absorbent pad between it and the fitted sheet (flannel at this time of year!). I fluff it daily to redisribute the feathers and down, and turn it when I change the sheets each week.
Linville River (Private Water) The Linville River is our pride and joy! We are blessed to have our own private section in the high country. It is conviently located just down the road from Grandfather Mountain and about a 30 minute drive from Boone, NC. This is your typical Appalachian mountain stream, it has small pocket water flowing into deep pools edged with rhodendron.
For more on the Savannah River, see the New Georgia Encyclopedia. The Savannah River orginates in Hart County at the confluence of the Tugaloo River and Seneca River (Seneca is in South Carolina). This confluence also forms Lake Hartwell. From Lake Hartwell the Savannah River flows southward for over 300 miles, forming the Georgia/South Carolina border. It empties into the Atlantic Ocean near the city of Savannah. Along with the Tugaloo River, the Broad River is also a tributary of the Savannah.
