The Bugtussle community is just inside Kentucky about 8-10 miles northeast of my place. No businesses, just a few farms. I'm not sure if it has a Fountain Run or Gamaliel mailing address.

A couple of years ago, we heard a knock on the door and went out to find two deputies from Allen County (KY) on our driveway. They were looking for a murder suspect who had been reported to have fled to a residence on our road. He relayed a description of the purported hideaway and it was an exact match to our property. We talked to the deputies for a bit and they drove off, satisfied that we were not likely to be harboring a wanted fugitive. The older of the two deputies did tell me we had a nice place.
Sheriff Departments around here don't pay much attention to State lines, do they? I've heard about Macon County deputies pursuing a suspect into Kentucky several times.
In my AO we have all sorts of names for different communites like most of the rural southern hill country. Yes, we have a Bugtussle, Hogjaw, Dogtown, Slick Lizard, Boar Tush, Chigger Ridge, and the list goes on forever. LOL
Isn’t that near petticoat junction?

Delete1 of the episodes w/ Buggtussle was on last night. The banker was going to buy the bank in case Jed moved his money there. I had a few laughs.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the nearest Wal*Mart?
ReplyDeleteSo you're not too far from Ft Campbell. Stomped around those grounds while I was stationed there. Passed through Bugtussle a time or two.
ReplyDeleteLafayette, TN, a couple hours east of Ft Campbell.
