Dr. Blue Ridge

In early January, Dr. Blue Ridge was still all dolled up for the Christmas holidays in his Santa hat and wreath! Lookin' good, Doctor!

Dr. Blue Ridge is in great condition. I love the fact that the office has left the area at the base as pea gravel so you can get as close as you want.

Dr. Blue Ridge: Muffler Man

I was delighted to spot my first new Muffler Man (to me) in over 20 years today, while traveling into the North Georgia Mountains. Doubly delighted to find that he used to be Mr. Bendo, who I remember from when I used to hunt down Muffler Men in the late '90s. As Dr. Blue Ridge, his toothbrush is now proudly held aloft in his right hand.

We always enjoyed your finds and updates. Welcome back to the hunt!

Mr. Hobby has been renamed "Dr. Blue Ridge" now. Not sure he makes a good doctor.
