Rural Georgia






While listening for the banjo music we found all kinds of interesting things on a short 100 mile ride through east/central Georgia. Towns we'd never heard of, towns that no longer exist and another covered bridge.



Along Hwy 77 south of Elberton just over the Broad River we came to a small intersection with a tiny extinct gas station. The pump in front reads $1.00 gal. It's 1 mile from the former home of an ex-Governor/Senator from the 1800, but "the house burned down years ago." You can, I suppose, go look at where it used to be if you want...the historical marker points the way.

Art is just everywhere. We find it each time we go out and we have covered so little ground so far.
We also passed through a non-town called Glade that used to have a little roadside store. It's not even on the map.
