So the first name of Gatlinburg was Reagan Town. And so that was where my family were one of the founders of that town. There's an old hotel there called Reagan Motel. So my family's originally from there. And then they moved down to Texas and started cattle rustling in the late 1890s. Um, but I don't know, just drawn back up there. I always love vacationing there.

Man, the people sprouted out of the ground. Yeah, it's that old, man. That's something I'm really looking forward to getting into. And I'm kind of excited in a way to get out of Texas because it's hard to study Native American history in Texas because you've got to travel so far and everything's so arid.

Like, you know, Austin, this was an ancient Native American settlement here that we have built this city on top of. The Alamo in San Antonio was built on top of a Native American settlement. And all of our major cities are just a reskin of an ancient city. And in Texas, it's really hard. We have the Galt site that's here in Austin that proves that Clovis First was wrong.

Maybe you're familiar with this. But up there, you're closer to mound country, where all the mound builders are. I'm a little bit north of that. But in North Carolina, it's one of the places that the Spaniards had a really hard time infiltrating because of the mountain ranges and because of how fierce the Native Americans were.

And so the archeological projects up there are headed up by like two hillbillies that live in the country, and they're the coolest guys. They own this little department store called the Tiger Store in Hayesville, North Carolina. And they have dug up like Spanish armor under the ground and Spanish swords and all kinds of crazy stuff. And I've gone hiking out there. And, oh, we got to look this up.
