apple at cha n mountains

That is the correct way to pronounce it(according to the locals).


I would not want Michael to be identified as a tourist when he pronounced it ap a lay shun.



But then that WI sound will likely give him away anyway.

OK Michael, just to place things into perspective.

I think you are familiar with tornadoes.

Now think of a tornado with gully washer rain.

Finally think of it lasting several hours as it approaches.

A bit of relative calm as the center passes over.


Then repeat as it continues away.


i.e. a very nasty beast.


E TN is hundreds of miles 'inland' with the apple at cha n mountains between.




Oh BTW tornadoes do prowl there.

Dont get it, the apple at the Cha n mountains???
or is it the guy from Appleton in the Cherokee Mountains???
JPGs lingo still has me bewildered at times.

Funny, when I lived in Maryland, (pre 67)
we heard it as "Apple 'ate' cha n" mountains.

Splitting hairs YES! But, then again, that is
what I'm best at. (Hairs, not hares, Lover.
Hares are related to rabbits, and have LOTS
of hairs, or fur.)

Search on JPGs vernacular did not show much, maybe Moon Shine from apples.
Rabbits and Snow Shoe Hairs are great eating, like dark meat of chicken, with my Beagles, limit was 5 a day, season ran from last Saturday in Sept till the end of Feb. Some days my son and I got 10 between the 2 of us. Front legs just make up appetizers, like chicken Hot wings. Rear are like chicken thighs and drum sticks but a bit smaller. In a mushroom cream sauce over rice, fine dining. Also Hasenpfeffer, to die for!!!

Rabbit, born with no hair and bind/closed eyes. Hares, hence the name are born with hair and open eyes, with site at birth.
