Letter: kinfolks interested in Burton articles

Carolyn Burton writes:
I live in Virginia. My father was Kenneth E. Burton whose father was Finis W. Burton of Adair County.

I was reading an article on Columbia Magazine.com (which I love btw) that Mike Watson wrote. He states in the article, if any kinfolk are interested in the original articles he would email them to us. I would like to request the articles for my genealogy research.

My Great Uncle's Kyle and Gilbert told us stories of moonshiners in our family.

I would be ever so grateful for your guidance In tracking these articles down. - Carolyn "Sunni" Burton

Travel: Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado

By Robert Ellis

This National Park derives its name partly from the Gunnison River that flows through it and the obvious...dark colored canyon walls. It is a majestic canyon with numerous views at the many stops along the rim.

There are two access locations to the park, the northern and southern rims. We visited the southern rim on this trip.

The northern rim is unpaved, more remote and the least visited...similar views but with different perspectives. This park visit was our last on this trip. We added it to our itinerary since we would be flying back home to Kentucky from nearby Grand Junction, Colorado, the next day.
