Hello, my name is Duane Johns and I have created this site to help promote my passion for design and technology. This site is named for an area of the North Carolina mountains near Stone Mountain State Park. The family and I frequently camp and hike in this area. It is a quiet and untouched area of the mountains and is a place for me to decompress when I'm not doing construction, design or tech stuff.
I am co-owner of
Advanced Renovations, Inc and that is where most of my time is spent. I also dabble with design and high tech gadgetry since both have such a large impact on businesses today. When I am not "working" I enjoy spending time outdoors. I like just about all outdoor activities and have a persistence to punish myself with the game of golf.
Below are some pictures from some of our family adventures.
