Exploring Town

IMG_20150826_111129891_HDR

I had heard awesome things about “Black dog Salvage” in town so Casey and I decided to check it out. They are an architectural salvage yard and warehouse. They have huge rooms filled with old windows, doors, columns, knobs, wood, trinkets, decor, and art. They even have a huge room where artists have their own section to sell up-cycled goods. SO NEAT. Kori-you would be in heaven!

Behind the BDS, there is a park by the river. It has a course for exercising and activities to do at each station.

We then wandered around in a new part of town, window shopping in the cutest stores. We stopped into this old hole in the wall for chili and grilled cheese sandwiches. What a fun day!

Floyd Fest!

floydfest-siteFloyd Fest is an annual music festival that takes place in the middle of the mountains.

The setting is magical. You are in the middle of a huge forest. You have the option to camp among the trees and stay multiple days. There are 9 music stages and the trees look amazing with the multi-colored lights shining on them. Food vendors and artist’s booths are set up everywhere. Tiki torches and fairy lights twinkle around the trapeze arena, people are walking around on stilts and juggling light up bowling pins, all while bubbles float through the crowds. Too neat!

We went on an awesome hike while we were in the town.

I thought this rock would be a perfect spot for a snake to shed under, so I checked in the hole…I found one!

flagstaff4While we were on the mountain, the clouds became dark and we heard the loudest thunder right over us. Then it DOWN POURED on us as we ran back down the trail. Too fun!

We took Brownie on a 4-wheel drive adventure on a windy dirt road to avoid a HUGE accident on the mountain. We avoided the whole stand still and had a fun adventure.10kansas 11missouri 12illinois13kentucky 14tennessee2 15virginia
