If you haven't seen this little town, it is a must see at least once in your life.
Wear clothes that will keep you warm and when you start into the town, open the windows of your car so you can take in the sights, sounds, smells, and atmosphere. We go the back way up Wilkinson Blvd., stay in the right lane, so as not to bother the other drivers. We come back home by I-85. |
