  1. A silent witness to years of hard work. 🚜🌾 I’ve always been fascinated by the way nature slowly reclaims what we leave behind. The contrast between that deep, crusty rust and the vibrant green field was just too good to miss.

  6. The Enduring Drift: Youth Exodus Continues From Small Towns, Despite Shifting Tides

    Young adults are leaving small towns for better job and housing options. Communities are trying new ways to keep them, like building more homes.

  7. Was a-farmin' on the shares, and always I was poor
    My crops I lay into the banker's store
    My wife took down and died upon the cabin floor
    And I ain't got no home in this world anymore
    — Woody Guthrie

  8. You ain’t gonna find nothin’ down here, friend
    Except seeds blowin’ up the highway in the south wind

  9. Found this little gem on a recent maintenance ride in Nelson County. It sits right off of Wilson Rd (VA 653), but I couldn't find any information on it online.

    Anyone know what this church is/was and when it was last receiving parishioners?

  10. Jesse Jackson could do something most politicians can't even imagine.

    He got conservative dirt farmers and inner-city families fighting the same enemy: corporate profiteers running roughshod over us all.

    That's not (just) oratory. That's vision. And it's exactly what we need right now.

  11. It was above freezing for the first time in days yesterday. It was cold, but worth it. The Tye has broken through the ice in places, but others it remains iced over.

    What's the coldest weather you've ridden in? I think 27 is about my coldest, but I didn't love it.

  12. A transmission tower stands beside trees planted as windbreak near an Iowa farmhouse. Shot from I-80 in January 2021, the scene appears calm—ice, fence, gray sky—but everything here works: the tower collecting data, the trees blocking wind, even my passing camera recording. What looks like stillness is actually a landscape of hidden labor.

  13. The grave looks old but it is one of the younger things in the vicinity of Abó. Nearby, ruins of pueblos occupied by the Tanoans in the 11th Century mingle with ruins of pueblos and Spanish missions from the 15th and 17th Centuries.

  14. Could rural America be waking up to a harsh political truth? Paul Krugman reveals how rural voters support GOP politicians who cut vital social programs benefiting them—driven by a deep cultural “rural consciousness” blaming urban elites. Yet, recent economic hits expose this paradox, sparking early signs of change.

  15. Stanton, Tennessee. Population 450. They built a massive Ford EV battery plant there expecting 6,000 jobs.

    Now Trump's killing EV incentives.

    Small towns bet everything on the electric future. Washington just moved the goalposts. Again.

    Rural America gets whiplash while politicians flip-flop on industrial policy.

  18. Musical Interlude: I heard these guys over the weekend, while at the Victorian Chautauqua in Mountain Lake Park, MD, in the heart of Garrett County, Maryland's westernmost part. It's marked by the bustling resort community of Deep Creek Lake, but outside that is rolling hills and farmland, and can be shockingly peaceful and quiet. This is a local musical duo, performing a song they wrote that's become the unofficial Garrett County anthem.

    "Garrett County Time," performed live by Smith & Roberts.
