This post features more backroad vignettes and landscapes from recent visits to Ashe County, North Carolina. First up is an old outhouse behind the Phipps General Store near Lansing. As the sign and door cuts suggest, this appears to have been a unisex outhouse. Folklorist would say the moon cut indicated “for females” and the star cut meant “for males”. While the horseshoe generally was used for good luck, I’m not sure of it’s use in this context.
The remaining captures are from various corners of the county obtained by just driving around exploring the county backroads. Sometimes those backroads change from asphalt to hard packed gravel, and back.
Thank you for visiting. For the best viewing experience, click on an image to see a high resolution version from my portfolio site.

A random drive can always turn into an adventure. Nice job 👏👏👏

I’m sending my “like” as a comment because I didn’t want to be the 13th “like”. Superstitious, I guess. My favorite vloggers on YouTube are those who travel the backroads of America. Do you have a YouTube channel, or is that something you would even consider?

Hi David, understand being superstitious. Haven’t thought about a YouTube channel. Are there still photographers with YouTube channels? Guess I could do a slideshow presentation with some original music.

There is a community of photographers on YouTube, but it’s mostly tutorials, tips and gear reviews. Slideshow presentations are still popular — I’ve published a few on my channel — but I was thinking more in terms of videography.

Love this post but my favorite here is ‘Farm on Bryan Davis Rd.’! I love the leaning stall but the cows all looking to check the photographer out makes it really special!
