Mountain Folk Exchange

similar to the Black Market, it is known by very few people, mostly from the Western North Carolina Mountains. The Mountain Folk Exchange has been running for nearly 200 years and under the radar of the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) for about 45 years. The Mountain Folk Exchange has been considered "devil's work" by many city folk. The Mountain Folk Exchange basically takes money out of the United States money system and creates a new circulation of money that is specifically in the mountainous regions of Western North Carolina. Many outsiders blame the Boojum for the creation of the Mountain Folk Exchange. Even though he wast the 'founder', he brought in gem stones which jump start the Mountain Folk Exchange. Yojuffé was the suppossed establisher of the Mountain Folk Exchange, for Yojuffé reportedly found a jug of Pert 'Nin' Juice. Pert 'Nin' Juice is thought to be an elixir of life. It's super natural properties have scared many Evangelicals. When the posting of the Pert 'Nin' Juice hit the Balsam Post the locals became very excited. In an effort to keep the news of the Boojum and all things related, the people of the Balsam Mountains didnt speak of such things for several years.
The Mountain Folk Exchange opperates at a very low profile inorder to keep enraged creeps and other fat cats who want to get their evil city folk hands on the very valuable Pert 'Nin' Juice and gem stones. Under new management, and moved to a different location for opperation, the Mountain Folk Exchange hasnt disclosed its information to the general public, and plans not to do so. Though many officials have good hints and tips on where it's where-abouts might be, they do not plan to take action for they have nothing to shut it down or make it's where-abouts known to the general public or to anyone for that matter. However, many men of power wish to get their hands on some of the reported valuables floating through the Exchange, but due the abundance of white wisps in the Smokey Mountains, their ability to manuver has benn corrupted my those white wisps of condensation after a good rain.

Im getting old, i need to go down to the Mountain Folk Exchange to pick me up some Pert 'Nin' Juice.


Timmy: My dad found out where the headquarters for the Mountain Folk Exchange is located!
Sarah: No he didnt! that is just a hoax to draw in tourist from Florida, who just happen to no be able to drive in the mountains!


Angry Evangelical Leader: We must raid the Mountain Folk Exchange and do away with that hippy, Yojuffé!!!
Angry Evangelical Followers: YARG!! I heard Yojuffé was a terrorist also!!


Some one brought in some gems up from Bald Ridge, they went for $12,000 today. The Mountain Folk Exchange was teeming with excitment.

Boojum

once considered, "normal" man, he came to America in 1606 aboard John Smith's boat, a long with 105 other men, which landed in Jamestown. After a terrifing sting ray scare at Sting Ray Point, VA. They headed inland, when getting off the boats the crew and John Smith were attacked by atlatls used by the natives. All remaining crew members fled back to the boat, but one man stayed behind inorder to begin a new life. The natives took him in and he greeted the Spirit of Nature. The Spirit of Nature asked the man to transport very valuable gem stones. This was very nessassary for these gem stones to be carried inland by a white man so the natives wouldnt be caught dead will such valuable items. The man continued across modern day Virginia and into current day Galax, VA. After arriving at Steven's Creek, The Spirit of Nature appeared and blessed him with the power to feel the vibrations and the complexion of the mountains and the ability to sense the swift moving waters as it speaks it mood. As He began his descent towards the southeast mountains, he senses an oddity, an irregularity within the mountains. The Red Shirts new about this and they began to chase him down, now they were novices to the mountais and we very poor at their orientation. The man used his skills in the great smoke mirrors to confuse and disorient the Red Shirts. He realized that this is much larger and He with his burlap sacks of valuable gem stones headed south. He walked the Bald Mountain Range for days on end; the Bald Mountain Range is currently the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. Also, some believe that He created the path for many of the segments of the Appalachian Trail. After about midway down the border, He broke south east and came across many caves along the way. He left several gem stones in various caves across the balsam mountains. He finally settled down with in the Western North Carolina Mountains and after the Great Gem Transportation of the 17th Century, He aquired the name Boojum. The Boojum also found jugs of the sweetest tasting drink in the known world!, Pert 'Nin' Juice. Pert 'Nin' Juice had what is called L'Elixir de la Vie, French for Elixir of Life. Pert 'Nin' Juice is the reason The Boojum still exist today. Some of the gems have been found within the last 30-40 years but i will not disclose the location in which they are currently stored. Pert 'Nin' Juice, wich some has been found in the Balsam caves, is reportedly the most valuable item on the Mountain Folk Exchange. Estamates put it ranging from $50,000-$217,536.51! The Boojum does still exist and there have been reported sightings of him but none have been proven. Within the last decade there has been some speculation withing the hillbilly community whether or not L'Elixir de la Vie has immortal granting abilities. Not one soul has dared drink it though due to its sacred properties. One thing is for sure: The Boojum means no harm and is outspokenly AGAINST Bigotry.

I just pulled a Boojum! I done transported mey haaay across the yerd!

(slang) Damn i hate them Boojums, they terk arr JERBS!

Timmy: I saw the Boojum last night!
Sarah: No you didnt, he is a hoax, meant to scare dumb floridians who cant drive in the mountains!!!

Bartender: Wow, that man can take a punch, a pool stick, a broken beer bottle, a barbwire mace!
Slum at Bar: Oh yeah he is like a Boojum jacked up on Pert 'Nin' Juice
