On today’s micro-adventure I travel beautiful country roads, by motorcycle, to small town America – Elkmont, Alabama.
Elkmont has that small town charm yet is home to the world renowned, Belle Chevre goat cheese operation.

92 Rides Roads Unknown (2020) Ep – 2 – Soda Pop Junction, Col Littleton and Blue Barns!
In 92 Rides Roads Unknown today, on allthingstonyj, I set out on another micro-adventure on my motorcycle.
I’ll be on a one day micro-adventure to Lynnville, Tennessee home of Soda Pop Junction and the world renowned Col Littleton’s Leather company.
Soda Pop Junction allows you to step back in time to a 50’s style diner and is home of Tennessee’s Number One Cheeseburger, known a Big Johnny’s Burger – I must say it was absolutely wonderful! Service was fantastic!
Col Littleton’s Leather Company is a must see in Lynneville. It’s seriously the most unique leather store I’ve ever visited. And the people there were awesome – really nice!
The journey to and from was just as interesting as the location. Old building of yesteryear, livestock, historic homes, a blue barn (first blue barn I’ve seen) and a dog were all included in this awesome trip.
While my adventure included a motorcycle, you could just as easily have done the same in your car!
I just hope my adventures inspire and motivate you to break the weekly monotony with a micro-adventure of your own.

92 Rides Roads Unknown (2020) Ep-1 – Did that Dog Try To Bite Me?
In this new series of micro-adventures on allthingstonyj, I explore unknown roads on my motorcycle! In this episode you’ll see a beautiful countryside, goats, farm houses, a church in the wildwood and a dog that tries to bite me! It takes place in the Cross Key community near Athens, AL. The story of the 92 on my tank is the year that I graduated from seminary, thus the 92 Rides Roads Unknown! As a child we would often hop in the car and just take a ride in the country to places we’d never been. It was always a great time. So while I take these micro-adventures on my motorcycle, you can use the same idea with any mode of transportation. I just want to inspire you to get out, break the monotony of the weekly grind, and explore your local world! The bike started as a Yamaha v star 1100 that I chopped up and made into a bar hopper. It’s still a work in progress and a great riding bike!

Rods and Wheels (2020) Car Show Ep-2
In this micro-adventure on allthingstonyj, I find myself going to Ditto Landing in Huntsville, Alabama for the Rods and Wheels Car Show.
Arrived just in time to see many of the hot rods rolling in, including a 32 ford coupe! The show included every car you could imagine that you hope to see at a car show. Weather was fantastic, live band was rockin’, and the food trucks had lines!

Rods and Wheels (2020) Car Show Ep-1
So I went to a car show and met a Great Dane!
In this one day micro adventure I travel to Ditto Landing for the 5th annual Rods and Wheels car show! It’s held on the scenic Tennessee River.
And what a show it was! Beautiful classic cars, late model customs, trucks, rat rods and much, much more!
Car shows are a part of Americana! The cars, the people, the dogs and the smells of food drifting from the food trucks! What’s not to like even if you don’t like car shows – there’s something for everyone, even a live band!
Click here and go to the car show with me as I made a short film about this incredible micro adventure. Watch my meeting of the Great Dane at the end!
