Scenic Adair Co.: Harold Mouser's barn on Hwy 206



2008-03-01 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Pen.
Note: Thanks to Billy Joe, Mike, and Mary for the responses identifying this location. A photo from a drive around Adair County with the late Ed Waggener back in 2008. I *think* this is Hwy 206 winding through the photo, but can't figure out which of dad's famous "shortcuts" got us to this perspective. If you recognize the scene, please use our Contact Form and let us know.

Note: While checking to see if we'd published this photo before, I did discover that searching for red barns in the CM archives brings up links to a bunch of great rural scenes by a lot of great Adair Co. photographers. --Pen
