Discovering Nature, Saddles and Solitude in an Old Abandoned Tennessee Farm
Butterfly Hollow Farm
How the Farm Got Its Name
   The Drive to The Farm
 
 
It was a very strange ride into the farm to say the least. Everything was normal until we got within 2 miles of the hollow. Then the gray chip-tar road slowly started turning a golden brown. By the time we turned onto our gravel road there were places where the gravel disappeared and all you could see were blankets of tan, gold, brown and white rippling and fluttering. I remember looking back in the rear view mirror and watching the blankets explode into hundreds of dashing butterflies. It felt like we were driving in the jungles. The population keep getting thicker as we made our way back up into the valley.

When we got out of the truck a half dozen butterflies immediately landed on Sharon's head. We died laughing remembering the one little butterfly that landed on her finger two weeks earlier. It was if he sent out a telegram to his whole village and told them about the place that we were going to name after him. The first hundred that landed on us were neat. Needless to say, they aren’t shy in the least.
