- I love Cherokee!!! Thanks for a great lens! Lots of good information here. I had forgotten there was anything much up there but Harrah's! lol Murphy looks absolutely lovely!! I grew up in Pendleton, SC -- about that same size town, I think. A very special way of life, where everybody knows (and cares about) everybody else!
