gibbs gardens

my sister and i visited a 'new' garden, gibbs gardens in north georgia, right off highway 53. i say 'new', because it is newly opened to the public, but it has been a work in progress for over 24 years! it's been open to the public for three years. acres and acres of themed gardens ( 224 acres, to be exact ). i liked the japanese garden the best.

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...

junky junk

i was driving around north georgia and saw this amazing place. turns out a man named dell owns it and he's a go-to harmonica player for every big star you've ever heard of! also has a large coca cola collection inside. so if you're on highway 53 near 400, go check it out. of course, i mainly liked the 'junk'. love signs made out of found scrap metal!
