I agree. I'm from a SMALL town in WV. Has the oldest covered bridge in the country(Philippi, WV). VA/WV and South has these towns all over the place. And the good thing about them, you may stumble upon them while out and riding but for everybody else, they'll never see it. And when you do, you'll remember them for months or even years later on.

Do I sense a nice spot for an engagement/wedding OP?

 

My friend OneGearHead, there is a HUGE smile on my face. And it is not bcs of a morning ride without my bike.

I rode up in that area and went into a local store on a small hill overlooking the village square. As I walked thru this small town gasa station type very old store and looking down at the ground between the planks of wood in the floor, I heard the clip clop (the sound of my boots not horses) on the wood.

I was in love.

When we rode off, there was the proverbial large blvd in the center of the town square where they would have a band, pig show contest thingy, etc..... and it was all GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!

I so wanted to find that location again. I have it in my mind, but just can't find it.

Would LOVE to ride thru there but this time STOP longer. See if I can rent a house for my wife and others that may want to join us.

Been married over 30 yrs my friend so I see your line of thinking figuring it was a good place to get hitched. It IS. But those are also great places to go to with an early cup of coffee in ur hand and to kick back.

Sounds a lot like the area I am from. Abbeville, S.C. Abbeville county has several little towns including the county seat that would meet your description.
Holla if you come to town and I'll take ya for a tour.

Thanks Kev! I just looked up where u r and it is only 2 hrs form I-77 and 1 hour from I-26 BOTH roads I travel a lot.

When I do my annual ride around the USA/Canada, I end it coming down from New England to florida. 2 wks later I go back up to New England, stay for 10 days and come back down again so there should be ample time to meet up with you.

I have to say, you have "butcher" in ur name. Hmmm, I do carry and am way above average with marksmanship under pressure to give u a heads up. LOL!

The area where u r looks GREAT for riding. And Savannah river really branches off a LOT!!! WOW.......I was unaware of that. Harder to find a corpse there. I mean, it is good to meat meet you. LOL!! I so funi!

I wrote you down to contact you if I can. Will be coming thru the area about late July. Then again a few times in August.

Sounds great my friend, thank you for the suggestion.

Bryson City, NC Surrounded by National Park, still feels like it did 45 years ago. Also check out Nabers Drive in, curb service and burgers straight out of the sixties.

 

thank you. I am looking all over the town. Do you know if there is a place to get gas on a hill. When you go into pay you are going into what appears to be a log cabin or a fully wooded structure?

Does that ring a bell?
