Blessed Drives – Bugtussle Hollow
With more than 50 Blessed Drives rambling in my head and heart, I couldn’t help but reminisce on my way over to Bugtussle. No matter how I sliced it, I was treading on ground already traveled in my sojourns across the county. But I don’t buy a roast beef sandwich for the bread, Family. Tucked in between Robinson and Swan Creek is Meat if I’ve ever seen it! My breath was taken away by the beauty of Bugtussle over and over. Truly, I hope y’all will take a slow Blessed Drive down this one if you’ve never gone before. Until then, let me try to whet your appetite a little.
