BLUERIDGERAMBLER.COM: Floyd VA • Virginia Mountain Dreams

Today I discovered another of that legion of fellow travelers drawn to Floyd, Virginia.  Go and check him out.

FLOYD VA

The logo of the Oddfellas Cantina sums up the town of Floyd, VA.  Drawn in the style of Grant Wood’s painting American Gothic, the logos’ graphic shows three men standing side by side: a farmer wearing bib overalls, holding a hoe; a Jerry Garcia lookalike, and a businessman in a suit sporting a bowler hat.
