rural
side of the road
i have passed by this old place for 20 years and wondered about it. i finally decided to get trespassing and document it. there were black cows all around the house. you could tell they had never seen a human around that place, and they watched intently from a distance. it was the biggest excitement they'd had in awhile.
as usually happens, looks like it was used for a hunting lodge or a party place after it quit being lived in, but still lots of beauty!

last week, i went on a drive to one of my favorite places, hancock county, georgia. i passed this abandoned house and wasn't going to stop (because, you know, we stop at *so* many abandoned houses already!), but then i saw the smokehouse out back through a last glance in my rearview mirror and i knew i had to turn around. it is always a little sad to see houses with good bones like these falling to ruin. but, then again, that is part of their mystery and charm.

the best bbq
sometimes i drive all the way past madison to the intersection of 1-20 and highway 83. there is nothing there but an old gas station. there is an add-on on the side that sells the best bbq. it has no name. i asked the guy's name ( robert ) and told him his ribs are the best. all he said was ' i jes cook 'em slow.' there's nowhere to eat the ribs. not even a shade tree, so i had to sit in my air conditioned car and wolf them down. so tender you barely have to chew..mmm-mmm...
