I met Thelma Frogg this past weekend. She made such an impact on me that I googled her name. I am so glad this video popped up!! I have to share that in August of 2022 Les is still walking up. I just realized that is the man who was walking up to "bring her her medicine" when I left the other day.

Hey maybe you can come and meet us so I can show Cades Cove along with the Wears Valley area where my family settled in the 1700 from Virginia and Boston, we have our family traced back to 930 from Normandy. Also tons of home places where out family was bought out by the Park Division for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Walker Sister was apart of our Family. Out family was some of the first settlers from the north, Scotts and Irish along with the Abbott’s were English from Sir Morris Abbott Google his name and read his Accolades. A very very Prominent Man in England then reaching into the New World. Family that has fought in the war of 1812, Revolutionary War, Civil War, every War to Date. Lots of History in Tennessee.

My buddy and I ride dual sport motorcycles all over the Appalachian range and visit these old stores and meet these awesome folks. That big snow she was talking about, we got caught in it around Front Royal and Skyline Drive on our bikes. Grew up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains and still haven't found a better place. I'm so glad we found your channel. I'm marking these little stores on the map while I watch. Planning a trip this spring now to ride up 116 up around new river and into Kentucky! Appreciate you documenting these man!!

There are so few of these places left. One I loved was practically on the state line in Nyack New York, with a vintage Indian Motorcycle sign, sold fresh fruits, vegetables, pies from it's own little side stand from the gas station which had an awning with pumps like this one. They would sometimes be filming scenes there. Woodie Allen did "Purple Rose Of Cairo" nearby in Piermont N.Y. as well. It was so laid back, casually elegant and beautiful before the Real Estate started flipping constantly and all the locals were forced out.
