Well large trout live there and can be exciting to catch, and Mountain Home has 2 "trophy rivers" - The White and Norfolk.
We traveled to Mountain Home mostly on back roads and were able to retrace sections of the bike route that we used to cross the country in 1996. We were particularly keen to drive through Paris TN, the town where we were looked upon as celebrities and ended up on the front page of the Paris TN Post-Intelligencer newspaper.
Here's a small section of what we saw along the way.
This was "home" in Bowling Green, Kentucky for a night - a beautiful large brick home, long driveway, lots of well-maintained grass and a four-column portico. Along the route we saw this "theme" repeated numerous times: lots of well-maintained grass and four-column porticos on LOTS of homes - big, small, brick, shingle, pre-fab and trailers. It seems that "keeping up with the Joneses" requires nice lawns and four columns.
A big red barn along the way:
More lawn - we spent most of the drive on a narrow two-lane road, with no place to pull over. We saw many lawns and columns, but we just couldn't stop to take all the pictures we would have liked to. Here is more lawn.
Everyone sits down to mow!
Not much to comment on these two!
Check out the glasses.
