A Back Road

Somewhere near Lake Robertson

That's the one problem with taking a back road, I can never remember where it was but they have some of the best views! Much better than taking the freeway :)

Rapps Mill Post Office circa 1888-1932...Rockbridge County, near Lexington

Click Here for a great story regarding the area and a man named Jim Parsons.

Near the old Post Office sits this old homestead:

After reading the story I discovered that this place was built in 1836 by Mathias Rapp, Jim Parsons's Great Grandfather.

This is such a neat area, I really want to go back and see more!

Couldn't find anything out on this but I like it!

It is along the Maury River and features people travelling upon a bateau.
