--0000000000001d2a090638a928eb Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Excellent to have both Reversed and Carolina R-S on the same trip! Odd there are so very few recent n.e. NC records for Reversed, as I have seen photos of a few recent ones from adjacent VA (as well as Carolina R-S). At least we have a decent handful of n.e. NC records for Carolina in the past few years.
