20. First time I visited Appalachia in TN

Wed Jan 21, 2026, 06:38 PM

Yesterday

We Got lost....this was before cell phones, though cell reception may not even be available today, but that's another story...there was an old rickety cabin with a short driveway. We thought we would ask for directions there. A man with a long beard, in coveralls and a riffle stepped out onto the front porch and waved the rifle at the us. We slowly backed out of the driveway and found our own way out.

Good luck to pedo Trump's goon squads trying to grab them up.
