This little town is full of surprises.
I had to move here for my job, and when I first saw the place I was not happy about it. I was used to the big city, and such a small, sleepy town in the middle of nowhere seemed quite boring. I was so wrong about that! This town is quirky and fun, and once the townsfolk accept you there is a lot you can do. The man who runs the bar illegally screens bootleg movies on the wall of his tavern on friday nights, so you can drink and watch a new release. There is not a gym in town, but one of the farmers converted his barn into a weight lifting room, with a wet sauna located nearby! The farmer is known to everyone as Uncle Bill, and the craziest part to me is that he doesn’t lift weights, he does yoga! If you go to Youtube you can find a channel called Farmer Bill’s Hot Country Yoga, and it is exactly what it sounds like. That wet sauna he has is located directly under a makeshift yoga studio in the hay loft. The steam from the sauna rises through vents in the floor, and the yoga studio can get well over 100 degrees! I am still too intimidated to try the hot yoga, it just seemed too hot for me! I do drive out to his farm twice a week to meet with a friend for a weight lifting session. I have to say it’s a lot more fun than my old gym.
