I hope all that cold weather stays up there for a while. I'm enjoying driving my Reatta right now. Temperature was 71 here and the foliage is beautiful. I drove about 150 miles on some really cool back roads. We stopped at a little chapel out in the middle of nowhere where some of Kat's relatives are buried in a cemetery in the back. Swafford chapel sits on about 2-3 acres of land and it's surround by cow pastures as far as the eye can see (second photo). All owned by the Swafford family. I came close to getting my windshield broken today. Going down the old road to the Chapel a big walnut fell out of a tree hanging over the road. It must have fell out of the very top because it hit with enough force that it sounded like someone had hit the windshield with a baseball bat. I haven't spotted any damage so far but it's a miracle that it's not broke. Then on the way home we stopped at a very unique old trading post/general store sitting back off the road that I hadn't spotted before. We decided to see if we could get a photo of it and my Reatta. I had to drive down a gravel road about 200 yards to get to it. It was closed and no one was around but I left the motor running just in case I needed to make a fast getaway. Glad I did. This place still has a Wallace for president sign hanging on the wall outside (among a lot of other weird stuff) and we could hear gunfire on the mountain behind the building. I got a couple of quick photos and got the hell out of there. People in these parts (Pikeville, TN) don't take kindly to city folks nosing around. ?

Especially with the tools they had to work with.

Haha. No, but it might be possible to get into a Deliverance situation in that part of TN. Those people are a little different. It's the only place I've been where the cemetery has graves in it like this from back in the early 1800s. It's kind of scary to think they are my wife's ancestors. ?
