which is above where the winery
is-and I always, always, always
stop at Caesar's Head, because I always love that view from Caesar's
Head State Park."

Mountain Empire
Community College in the 1970s at Big
Stone Gap, Virginia. Later moving to a
post at Franklin County's Ferrum College, he was instrumental in bringing

to plan a wedding-and drive a bulldozer. She
can cut cakes as well as trees. About
20 years ago, on the outskirts of
Landrum, South Carolina, Wolters
planted the seeds for what became
the Red Horse Inn. It's a place that
is both relaxing and romantic. And
Wolters, 63, the innkeeper and owner, is a primary part of the charm.
She knows how to decorate, both inside and out, and she knows how to
talk to her guests. And, just as her
father was a minister, this is a ministry to her, as well.

I had a day off, I would head west
on Scenic Highway 11 and probably do my waterfalls and wineries

is

Brian Alley. Primland Resort sits
just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Patrick County, Virginia-just above the
North Carolina border. Its 12,000 acres
equate to the surface space of Bermuda.
And it's known for outdoor activities,
including hunting, horseback riding,
ATV trails and archery. But it may be
best known for its golf course, overseen
by golf pro Brian Alley, a 33-year-old
bachelor who lives in nearby Lawsonville, North Carolina.
Where do you like to go?
Primland. "I like to ride the road
bikes. So, in August, when the days
are long, I can work until six and
then hop on a bike and ride down
the mountain and back. That's 45
minutes, but that's a great workout,
coming straight back up that mountain. It's not easy, but it's easy for me
to get out there. It's more than grueling. It's six-and-a-half miles, going
to the south gate and then coming
back up."
