Travel-Off the Beaten Track in North Carolina. Shangri-Li Stone Village in Prospect Hill NC

-

 Today is a travel day.  Let's take a look at an off-the-beaten-track adventure.  Shangri-Li Stone Village in Prospect Hill, North Carolina

The stone village is located between Hillsborough and Yanceyville in Prospect Hill NC
Visitors are welcome anytime at no charge. Click here for directions
The first thing you see as you enter the stone village is the large welcome sign and a quote...
"A retired tobacco farmer's pet project turned into a sturdy miniature city."
The structures are made out of concrete, stone, and arrowheads.




Henry Warren, a retired tobacco farmer, started his village in 1968. He worked on the village for 9 years.  He was working on a hospital for his village when he died in 1977. By the time Henry died, he had 27 structures, including a gym, bank, gas station, library, theater, and a hotel.  His wife is quoted as saying...

"As long as he had a cigarette and a Coca-Cola, he'd keep building."

If you walk through the village, you will soon discover the little trinkets found throughout.
My personal favorite...
If you are driving through NC and find yourself near Hillsborough and Yanceyville, be sure and look up Prospect Hill.  Here you will find this unique little village that took a man 9 years to create.  
Happy Travels, Everyone!

I am so glad...fall is nearly here.  It has been a sweltering and humid summer, and yes, it is still that way today, but now that we have hit September, there is hope.   I love fall and winter weather and fall and winter fashion.  With that in mind, I have selected the September outfit I want to recreate.  I found the outfit on Pinterest.  I went to Amazon to see if I could recreate the look and will go into my closet to see if I can come close to creating the outfit.  What is nice about this look is that if it gets too hot outside, you can easily remove the sweater. Here is what I found... 1 -Levi's Women's 314 Shaping Straight Jeans 2- Fossil Women's Jolie Leather Crossbody Purse Handbag for Women 3- Peugeot Women's 14K Gold Plated Tank Leather Dress Watch with Roman Numerals Dial 4- Vepose Women's Ankle Boots Low Heels Chunky Cutout Booties+Perforated Western Shoes 5 -Canaria Italian 10kt Yellow Gold Diamond-Cut Dome Stud Earrings 6- Elesomo Womens Tops Short/Lon
