  High Falls Covered Bridge in DuPont Forest Buck Forest Road, Hendersonville, NC "The Covered Bridge was constructed in the late 1990s as part of a planned, gated Cliff's Community housing project. The founders of Friends of DuPont Forest launched a successful campaign to save the waterfalls from development. When the waterfall corridor (the area that includes Triple Falls, High Falls, and Hooker Falls) became State land, the bridge was included." How the heck do folks take selfies that look normal and don't look like you do have 500 chins??! I mean right, come on now??! LOL!! What a fun hike, a bit hard to find the attractions you do wish to see though, we did ask multiple folks to be sure we were headed in the right direction. So many weird looking paths, I don't know if folks were trying to confuse us Virginians or what??! I can recall when this trip was November 2023. We were celebrating our anniversary the day of this hike. The area of NC that we were visiti

  Rappahannock County, VA "Hittles Mill" , Zachary Taylor Hwy, Flint Hill,  Rappahannock County, VA Laurel Mills Store, Rappahannock County, 4 pics above 461 Laurel Mills Road, Castleton, VA (540) 937-3015 Blue Ridge Grocery, Country Store, Since 1929  (photographed with Luigi in front of this cutie!!!) These spots were so fun to see, we made it to Rural King for tractor shopping, no purchasing just doing some research ...got some vinegar ...it was $2.99 a bottle ...so more reasonable than groceries stores these days. Found some vases at the local Goodwill. Had lunch, gasoline and got some coffee from Sheetz. Made it to several shops that the hubby has been wishing to check out because previously visits they have been closed so that made him super happy!!! I will say that the slave quarters (we are guessing but we assume that is what these are, there were no signs or such to know for sure, just guessing.) were along the road, now those were not on the main road (we try really

  Pal's Sudden Services - (423) 246-9761 327 Revere St, Kingsport, TN 37660 "Fast-food chain, founded in 1956, serving up burgers, hot dogs & fries, plus breakfast fare" Such great burgers, have you ever had the chance to have one???!! Delicious. We love their Razzie Tea (raspberry) or Peachie Tea (peach) I am thinking these are seasonal, but not sure there? You will have to check the next time you are visiting, very tasty good. This time we had "cheddar rounds" they were so good as well. I don't think we have ever had a bad meal at Pal's?!? Such quick service. Am I the only one who is hungering for a good ole' burger and fries. DROOLING!! lol.  Roberts' Mill, Sugar Grove, Virginia aka "Hamm's Mill", Highlander Road, Smyth County, Roller Mill, built in 1918. Wythe County, Virginia (route 619) Gleaves Road, go over Cripple Creek The hubs and I were laughing that they would probably not be fixing this any time soon it didn't a

  Let's talk SUBARU, if you are someone who needs a new car, please do investigate, do you research and learn more about the SUBARU brand ...so glad to be back in a SUBARU again, I feel safe, I feel secure and knowing that there are so many safety helpers (items that can assist) in this car, to watch out for us. Back to being a SUBARU family, if only we could get my hubs parents in one, maybe one day soon??!?! I miss my Crosstrek that I had 4 or was it 5 years ago ... it was orange, loved it. This is our beauty now, love her ... "LuLu" (Crosstrek Wilderness, 2024) the SUBARU, she is awesome, doesn't look like this really any more ... why because the hubby got to changing it ...he can not leave cars alone ... see Luigi below. So you might have heard me chat about my car, in past bloggy posts, I was hesitate to show him because he is the only like him, there are tons of Fiat 500, I am sure WHITE ones at that, but ones with an Italian flag, not so many??!?! I was always

Soda Pop's Ice Cream, 125 Everett Street, Bryson City, NC. (828) 788-0013 Hey there, friends. I appreciate you all for visiting and commenting, you are always so super kind. I have been checking out some ole' bloggy friends that I've not visited in years. Not that I forgot about them just kind of missed placed them or didn't visit as much as I once did. Is that not the best? Playing catch up and chatting up a storm? How, you might ask? I went back into my comments from a long time ago and found their blogs and visited. You gotta keep up with your friends.  So this cutie was on a recent trip we took in May beginning of June 2024. We got to the Smoky Mtn, Tennessee ...man oh man ... the green ...they have definitely been lucky in the rain department, so lush and green there.  Now all of these sights were not seen in 1 day, but over multiple days, like 5 ...so it was a long journey of backroads over days. Ever had "Pal's Sudden Service" , great burgers, fun d
