NC and Virginia

West Jefferson, it was so wet. I would have loved to walk the town street which supports an artist colony but had to be content taking photos from the car window.




















I had Mexican for dinner and this is the array of sauces on the table, the food needed some as it was a bit bland, I had a spinach enchilada and a mushroom enchilada, was supposed to have rice and beans and lost in translation with my accent, when I said only a little, they didn't give me any and I had enough food on my plate anyway.












One of the interesting signposts on the BRP, I had a little sing to myself remembering the words.







I made a stop at Independence to take some more wall art, the other sign on the wall next to this one said, Independence in God we grow.
Wish I'd had my camera ready to photograph a semi with a second trailer taking Christmas trees to the market. There are millions growing in this area to supply the Christmas indulgence. Thanksgiving weekend is the time to select and cut your own, so lots of cars with their trees on top. Must be profitable because all the farms had large houses.
