6-16 12 Moving on down the Blue Ridge Parkway this is one of the best-- think about travelling the Kancamagus in NH for 500 miles thru several states and getting off  now and then into small towns 5 miles or so.One of the best Floyd VA. Woowee home of the Floyd Country store  friday nite jamboree   roll all the shelves back set up the folding chairs  and bring on the groups blue grass and country --and the dancing from the crowd with tap shoes  geeez some of these guys looked like Amos on the real Mcoys - so Mim ask a couple of fine ladies 80 or so behind us what to do to hold our seats -leave something on the seat hat, napkin--whatever or Yall dont worry about it we well tell them that they are reserved for them yankees So outside in the street more going on -town a tad bigger than Wellfleet musicians gather up and start playing- each taking their turns to lead-- banjos--guitars- fiddles-cellos-auto harp --five or six groups in different spots --play a while with one group then move on to another, Young ones learning from the old. Sort of like pick up and  fit in where they need that  instrument.Had a blast get down here.Great trip down the Little River 10 miles or so --Gezz the rhodies all of the banks and up the cliffs --beautiful .Went to a daylilies farm -about 600 species  Met Lou-yep one of six--she said cant go onto that house-her mom and dad had just past away that year --was their business and the girls took it over  Mim loved this place taking notes of all the colors and names --so Lou and I talked about whats happening --yep the tar heels and yankees moving in --and they think they know all about us --They dont know shit--gotta love these folks salt of the earth .The view along this vista drive is one of the best we have seen but more to go.
