Neighborhoods
The High Country does not really have neighborhoods in the traditional sense. This is a section that helps you understand the different places to visit...
Only a 10 minute drive from the cabin, driving down Big Hill Road, follow along the New River. The Todd General Store and Todd Mercantile may be open, but not necessarily. Call first.

Poruszanie się po okolicy
The roads in the High Country can be curvy. Easy does it.
Go around the curves without much acceleration. I grew up learning to drive on straight roads and the mountain curves have given me a 'steep learning curve'.
