BYOB 2013 the AAA Tour June 20th-30th

One time SS tried to come after him for Child support..
That was a big fail for them....

Sheriff served him papers?

Is that where he lived at the end of rt 641?
Bearing left at the fork?

Real Estate in Blue Grass, Highland County, VA is expensive.

Glad you clarified that.

Gospel right there.

That shot in the topo IS NOT Skippy's house ..
A few people lived back there.. One fella had an old apple orchard..
We use to walk from Skips' house for about 3 + miles to go shrooming on Pvt property..

The road went past his house .... It didn't end at it...


Herb Lightner was the Sheriff back then..
A good man Herb was ... The best sheriff for the Co. IMHO...
Yes .. But they got dropped...

Yeah land is way OVER priced . Wasn't to bad when we bought our farm back in the 80's .. But sold real high...

Back in the 50'-60's BlueGrass was in the National Geographic ...
known as Highland County Virginia's Little Switzerland.....

I think I got figured out where his house was/is.
It shows up with a rusty roof.
It is on another road off Rt 640.
The terrain map seems to indicate that it is a little bit of a valley.
The owner "Fitz" stands for Fitzgerald?
Highland County does not have GIS Maps for property records.
So I can't verify who owns the property at the present time.

Nice write-up on Blue Grass, VA

In that one pic of town ... When we first moved there .
Ya see the grey building on the right .. That was the Merc.Beau Folks owned and ran it then...
Then they sold it ..Byran turned it in to his Woodwright's shop and Kimbles restored the original Merc. across the street..
The Book bank was the old Post office..

This is a village I must visit.
Befriend the locals.
That bench looks like the place where I would hang out.

The BYOB is a hop skip and a jump away.. From BlueGrass...
Plus know all the cool back roads to get there

There are no cool roads in the area.
:ddog

What are ya talking about :huh
Snowy Mt.Road ... 637.. 640..Moyers has a bunch...
ANd in the spring they are all full of tar and chip

That is a thing I don't miss about BlueGrass... The road where I live are Paved... And a few nice hard dirt ...

Heck we took Laconic ... On some great roads that we use to ride ...
And MarkO too.. But he missed the real good stuff...


Oh yeah right Move along people there's nothing to see here.....

Ahem


I said there are NO good roads in the area.
Gravel in every corner, coal trucks trying to run over you, locals are mean.




We are gonna be knee deep in flatlanders and Yankees if ya ain't careful.

MarkO and Jeff B will back me up on this.

The biggest obstacle will be the packs of slow ass cruisers. The best riding is down in the Smokey Mts.

Sucks I tell ya.

commence double-yellow line overtaking

Yeah, cuz when you get Mark and I together on our slow ass cruisers, the rest of you guys might as well just take naps and wait for us to get out of the way.

I wasn't talking about us, but then you knew that.

BigDadddy, Laconic, Cuttle, and I had to play catch up on the ride to Rella's last year. BgDaddy and I happened to be on our cruisers. We caught up.

That was some fun riding!

Oh, and I just got the email that my time off for this was approved, so I'm definitely in for BYOB (not the tour though. )
