Holly Springs, Mississippi - Graceland Too Glad we stopped. Please read the full story on RA. We knew what to expect. Paul was on his front porch waiting for visitors. He took us in the front door and locked it behind him. Would have been creepy if we didn't read the background story.
He likes to keep attention on him at all times and likes to "tap" your shoulder if his high pitched whistle didn't get you the first time. The house is now under "renovation" inside and out. There is a lot of chain link fence inside protecting his items. The house on the outside is now brown and blue and white.
Fascinating character and glad we met him.

High Rolls - Mountain Park, New Mexico - Apple Boy Old Apple Barn is a great place to stop for a break, buy a lot of souvenirs and have a bite to eat. Tried the Elk Dog and it was delicious! The pies are incredible. There is a bakery that is upstairs and they lower their delectables with a dumbwaiter to the main floor.
Bill introduced himself and we spoke for at least 30 minutes as my son and I enjoyed our hot dogs. Bill is a very talented, interesting and intelligent person who is passionate about his business. If you love shopping, you will love this place! Great fudge and specialty sodas, too.
