“The Fugitive”- Abandoned movie set in Sylva, North Carolina.

Lying abandoned in the Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina, fans of the 1993 film “The Fugitive” will recognize them as those used by Harrison Ford's character Dr. Richard Kimble when he escaped from a prison transport moments before it collided with the onrushing train.

The scene, which was filmed using a real train hitting a real bus, cost an eye-watering $1.5 million to shoot.

When filming was completed, The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad asked the film crew to leave the remnants behind for tourists and they have since become a popular tourist attraction.

The Great Smoky Mountains Railway is a great way to see a remote and beautiful corner of North Carolina. The journey includes two tunnels and 25 bridges, and The Fugitive Wreck. (Make sure you are booking the Tuckasegee River Excursion)

The Railroad offers a variety of scenic, round-trip excursions departing from Bryson City. Trips range from 3 ½ hours to a full day of fun and adventure.

Historic Webster Baptist Church Overlooks the Tuckasegee River in North Carolina

Over Labor Day weekend, I took a trip to Western North Carolina. With the devastating floods caused by Hutticane Helene, I thought I would share some of the beautiful places I photographed. The Webster Baptist Church sits on a bluff above the Tuckasegee River in Webster, North Carolina. The river flooded, but I don’t yet know how Webster fared. The church was built in 1900.

Tsul 'Kalu

Tsul 'Kalu is a legendary figure of Cherokee mythology that plays the role of "the great lord of the game," and as such is frequently invoked in hunting rites and rituals.

The tale is one of the best known Cherokee legends and was recorded by Europeans as early as 1823, often using the spelling, Tuli cula. The name Tsul 'Kalu means literally "he has them slanting/sloping", is understood to refer to his eyes, although the word eye (akta, plural dikta) is not a part of it. In the plural form, it is also the name of a traditional race of giants in the far west.

He is said to dwell in a place called Tsunegun'yi. The words Tsul and Tsune and their variations appear in a number of Cherokee place names throughout the Southeastern United States, especially in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.

Tsul`kälû' Tsunegûñ'yï is a 100-acre patch on a slope of the mountain Tanasee Bald in Jackson County, North Carolina, on the ridge upon which the boundary of Haywood, Jackson, and Transylvania Counties converge. It is believed Tsul 'Kalu was responsible for clearing the spot for his residence. The name is sometimes corrupted by Europeans to Jutaculla; consequently the area is also known as the "Jutaculla Old Fields". There is also a large slab of soapstone called "Jutaculla Rock" nearby, which is covered with strange scratches and carvings. These markings are said to have been made by the giant when he would jump from his home on the mountain to the creek below.

Another place associated with Tsul 'Kalu, Tsula'sinun'yi (literally "where the footprint is"), is located on the Tuckasegee River, about a mile above Deep Creek in Swain County, North Carolina. Impressions said to have been the footprints of the giant Tsul`kälû' and a deer was found on a rock that was destroyed during railroad building.

I got home, hugged my horse's face, ate a bunch of cheese and bread as a depression meal, attempted to rehydrate myself, shot that effort in the foot with some vodka, and now I'm tapping out of today while listening to The Neighborhood's Afraid on repeat
