Yesterday we went to the Wythville Walmart to get our medicines transfered and refilled. 
 From there we headed south to small town of Rural Retreat. A nice town of around 1200 population. This is one of the many towns that we have seen that train rails go throught the middle of town.  Many of these towns had their hay day in the early 1900's. The town of Rural Retreat and the surrounding area shipped wagon loads of cabbage by rail all around the country and by the looks of some of the houses made some money doing that.  
 We had dinner in Joey's Country Kitchen. The food was good and if we come this way again we will eat here.
 Here is one of several old hotels that are for sale.
 This is the former Sprinkle Hotel that is for sale. We just love to drive through these old towns and look at the old big houses and the charm that they have.
 A flock of Canadian Geese on the lake a few miles out of town.

 The old train depot is still standing.
 This is beautiful country with the different barns,new and old.
