I just bought milk at the Wind Gap Turkey Hill and there was a gentleman in there with a very heavy accent looking for directions. He had driven up from Virginia. He was very passionate about the protest and was an American citizen of Turkish descent.

Thanks for the update!

Years ago I mowed the grass and helped repair the cottages - we knew the old owners very well.

Thank you for your update!

After living in this region all those years, I never knew. I never even read an article about them.
Quite scary I'd say for all the locals.
