So we have a small Amish community in the area. Nice people and we don't mind being watchful for and sharing the road with their horse drawn buggies.
Today as I went past a farm house 6 men with a team and work wagon were just loading up. One of the younger ones upon seeing my C8 gave me a thumbs up!!
Not sure how I should feel about that... I mean I'm flattered, but something just seems wrong about it....

We lived in Central Illinois from 2000-2002. There was an Amish town near us. They were very primitive. They had stores to sell their goods to people but they only used electricity for lighting. Cash only. Most of their land was farmland and I was amazed at the size of the horses they used to pull plows. No tractors for many acres of land. While they appreciated us buying goods from them in their town it was obvious from the looks we got they didn’t want us near their farms.
