During the 1970's, Joe was often seen traveling between his residence and Darrtown. He enjoyed visiting with others; especially those who frequented the Hitching Post and McVicker's garage.

The cart he is hitched to, in this picture, belonged to Smokey Alston. Granddad borrowed it every year to give rides to people at the annual Fire Department festival."
