Welcome back rock stars and festival beasts. Your day has dawned. It’s summer in Virginia and the beets are poppin’. The wranglers have mounted a frontal assault on the summer festival season in the Appalachians and so far plan A is still in mad effect. Carrying the banner of the Shawsvegas Mafia the mounted Chihuahua cavalry is on the move day and night with a spirited quickness through the mountainous terrain of the Smoky Mountains. From the New River Gorge to the Chimneys, from Floyd to Pop’s Farm. And Spirit Haven just waiting in the distance like a jewel on the crown of the horizon. In the middle of all this silliness what should jump up right out of the ether? A trip back to the Ozark Mountains and Backwoods at Mulberry Mountain. Yes sir. That sounds like good medicine. Welcome to Backwoods at Mulberry Mountain 21: Preview and Photographs await.
