Posted - January 07 2023 : 1:29:35 PM They don't come as often as they used to, but they do still come. This young man sent me this yesterday. It's a good feeling to know that you have impacted someone's life.
"Hi guys,
My name is Kevin and I was about 14 years old When the movie came out, it was extremely transformative to me, and it has remained my favorite movie ever! Not too long ago. I had a trip down to Charlotte for a couple of days and because of your fantastic website and guide, including GPS coordinate, I got to do some thing I wanted to do my whole life. I visited every site that was important to me from the movie. Actually, I wasn’t able to visit the scene where magua kills his enemy because it has been closed due to an unfortunate fatal fall with a young child, plus I’m afraid of heights. Nevertheless, without your website, I would not have been able to fulfill a lifelong dream, so I can’t thank you enough for all the effort you put into compiling these locations. It was extremely fulfilling and thank you!!!! I’m sure you don’t get a lot of traffic to your website anymore. In fact, I was talking with one of the Rangers at chimney rock and I asked him to guess my favorite movie, all he could come up with, was dirty dancing and I know the dance scene was filmed in the nearby lake but still, I was flabbergasted! The last of the Mohicans helped make me the man that I am with a deep love of the outdoors and fantastic scenery. Thank you so much for your fantastic website!! Kevin PS-I just cannot over state that without the Mohican press, I could not have fulfilled one of my dreams."

Posted - January 08 2023 : 11:02:01 AM I'm not surprised Rich - that movie & this website have had a very "positive impact" on a huge number of folks. - They just don't get in touch like Kevin did ... |

Posted - January 08 2023 : 09:57:24 AM I am sure there are a lot of others with the same feelings. I had personally never been to Linville, Barnardsville, Dupont Forest, and other areas until I started going to the Gatherings. I did go to Chimney Rock a lot, even ran in the Hillclimb for three years. I remember in the 90's they had the exhibit with some of the guns and things from LOTM in the shop at the top of the elevator. I wish I had taken some pictures of them.
