Our Mennonites do use horses and buggies but they will ride in vehicles and use cell phones if they need to.
We have wagon trains here that raise money for families in need. We used to ride in them. You haven’t lived until you spent all day on a horse or in a buggy, camped all night, and had barbecue at midnight that was cooked for hours in a pit in the ground. Everything is donated. The women cook and a farmer donates a whole hog or two for roasting.
Nothing like socializing in the Tennessee hill country.
Sounds nice. Never been there. My wife’s sister lives there, we may visit someday. She’s Chinese, got married here in SF Bay Area and moved there with her husband. He brought me a large jar of locally made moonshine whiskey when visiting us but I never tried it. Sounds nice being away from the hectic city life.
