Welcome to Murphy, NC

 

Depending upon which direction you are travelling, Murphy, NC is the first or last town in North Carolina.

We are a small town located in the southern Appalachian mountains in Cherokee County, the most south-western county in the state.

We are located about one hour from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and less than that from the Nantahala River and the Ocoee River, both very popular whitewater rivers in southwestern North Carolina.

Murphy has retained the small town America flavor, with low traffic, less noise, friendly people, and a variety of small stores and shops. Yet, we are still only about a two hour drive from Atlanta, GA; Greenville, SC; Asheville, NC; Gatlinburg, TN; Pigeon Forge, TN, Knoxville, TN; and Chattanooga, TN.

Hi John - Do you know a guy who sells barbecue sauce at the flea market. Well, it was like three or four years ago. We went back last year, and I tried to find him. He makes his own sauce. It's sweet and then hot. Fabulous. My label got sauce on it, so now I can't remember the name of the sauce or read the contact info. I just started a web site called Yes You Can Grill. Yippee! My first. I mentioned the sauce there and would love to find it again and give credit to the guy and info on how to get in touch with him to buy it.

About johndilbeck



John Dilbeck lives in the mountains of western North Carolina, near the small town of Murphy. He loves living in the southern Appalachian mountains, where he avoids the noise, congestion, traffic and other big city hassles that waste time and energy.

Cherokee County, North Carolina abounds in scenic splendor, as you would expect from an area only an hour's drive from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

John spent 30 years mastering computers and teaching others how to use them more effectively. Now, he has turned his attention to blogging, building websites, and forums to help promote the people, organizations, businesses, and events in Cherokee County, NC and the mountain region of North Carolina.

He enjoys creating and selling custom tshirts and other products at his CafePress store: Shirts-Mugs-Hats.com.

He started the Squidoo Marketing community to share knowledge, experiences, and tips with other Squidoo lensmasters who love marketing. You are invited to come join us.

In his spare time, John loves playing guitar and banjo, watching movies from Netflix, and reading anything that doesn't run away.

I love creating lenses on Squidoo and I'm proud to be a Giant Squid. I hope you'll like the lenses I create and will join my fan club, too.
