“Are there that many private homeowners still making their own liquor?
In the south? Hoo yeah!”
When Nashville had the big floods in 2010 we were part of a group getting food and water to stranded people in some outlying counties. One of our volunteers was stopped looking at a flooded road when a guy asked him what he was doing. He explained there was an older couple who needed supplies and he couldn’t get to them. The guy said “I’ll get you there” and they took off..... through bean fields and up and down dirt and gravel roads until the got to the desired address. My friend asked how he knew the roads so well and the guy replied “I’m an ILD.”

By the way.... when we moved onto our property in ‘86 we found the remains of 2 stills.
