Welcome Countrygirl,
First a word to Padredw: What are you trying to do ruin it for us natives?!
I was born in Gilmer and have relatives all around that area. Had an aunt that lived very near Ore City. It is beautiful country isn't it! When I try to describe this place to folks who have only been in West Texas they cannot believe that it is the same state!
You've found a whole new family here on the MOC. Enjoy and post often.
