I have lots of photos to sort through so today I will just show a few pics of us on the way to the Zoar festival. It has been so dry and it seems like every farmer took advantage of it and cut hay.
The Amish still use horses to harvest their hay and to cut their grass.

| We were in Amish country. |
And we drove through the town where General Custer was born.
Got stopped by a train hauling oil.
Click for a closer look. This is very controversial in this country right now.
Fishermen and fisherkids.

| Beautiful farms all along the way. |
And finally we arrive in town.
Zoar is surrounded by corn fields. More tomorrow.
The best shot of the blue moon that I could get.

Almost no one make hay here any longer, they make silage instead so the entire countryside id full with those balls covered in white plastic, they call them farmers eggs :-)
I didn't get a chance to see the blue moon, the sky was covered in clouds unfortunately.
Have a great day!

Over here we read that the Dukes of Hazard car can't have the flag anymore on it.
Wasn't that blue moon gorgeous?
When I first read this post and came to the flag issue, I wanted so much to expound on how I felt...but..no use stirring the pot, I thought. I often wonder if we will ever be able to get a grip and try to understand where others are coming from, their way of living, what has made them who they are and when there is room for improvement..go for equality, not dominance...and when we change it..not try to go "whole hog" about some things. Many men died in that war, horrible deathes. Unfortunately "Southern Pride" and the flag issue is put out by the "fringers" and does not give the real picture to the masses. Already saying too much. Oh well.
I noticed that few mentioned that issue. LOL
Then I come along and run my mouth! :) Obviously I come from a Southern background.
Interesting towns in your area...
