Northern end of the Natchez Trace Parkway, food and friendship

 The centre of down town Lieper's Fork.  Everything you would need to live in this small Tennessee town.  Excellent food, friendship, and a band every Friday and Saturday night.  Restaurant serves food as in a cafeteria style, on plastic foam carry out type boxes.  There is though, ample seating, again cafeteria style.
One of the local roads in and out of Lieper's Fork
 A local off road vehicle capable of negotiating any type of terrain.  Notice the extra water mounted on fender to keep cool.  Also frying pan for roadside rest and vitals, will also help fight off the bears.











 Another view of the vehicle showing the special anti slip steering wheel.  Please also notice the washtub for baths and such also doubles as a container for salt curing when needed.   Trash can, tool box, and back seat for the lookout.



Still in use after all these years.



Somebody's back yard.


Couldn't find Barney Fife but the sheriff driving it had a big belly!


Talked to the Sheriff at the store, nice fella.  He thought we might be aliens







All fun aside he was a cool sheriff, gave us a lot of information on the local color.  Very interesting.
