City Slicker in Georgia

[Placer14]

Dear ATOT,

I'm here visiting family in Georgia on my 32kbps connection (which only acctually connects at 21kbps) downloading winRAR (which will take another 25 minutes accorind to windows) and figured i'd say hi to you guys while I was here.

Today were hearding cows and I stepped in my fair share of cow pies. Even managed to get one of the cows to step on one of feet. Fortunately, nothing was broken. Then I went ATV-ing and offroading in my brothers Blazer 4x4. That was cool.

I'm gonna have one more day down here before i have to drive abck to florida and back to work. We'll proabbly end up taking my grandma's 22 guage rifle out for some target practice and a little more mudding. Any suggestions on what else I might could try to "hick" it up while i'm out here?

Love,
Placer

Update: Got home and I posted a few pictures...enjoy.

This is us 4-wheeling in our "backyard"

This is us going 100 down I-95 on the way

We went out to give a few cows some shots and here were two of the heffers

Cool truck we saw on the way

Drink some Busch Light, smoke a pack of Winston's, and watch replays of Nascar.

Don't forget to shoot the cans of Busch Light off fence posts with the rifle.

Heh, just got back home...decent trip but overall too short. We were near Hazelhurst (small podunk town nearby Alma). Goood times. A few pictures with my camera and my dad's crap camera.

Seriously. South GA is pretty boring (and hot as hell to boot). Everything north of Atlanta once you get into the mountains is beautiful.

What's all those black dots on the cows? Flys, ticks, mesquitos?

Probably all of the above. The flying bastards are pretty thick once you get south of the "gnat line" (around Macon). Something about the sandier soil down there makes for perfect gnat breeding grounds.......yet another reason south GA sucks.

Two sheep at the same time?

Yea...there were a few cowpies sporting some fungii, needlesstosay, i'm not touching anything growing out of crap. Those cow pictures have hordes of mostly ticks. It's really bad and we were actually out spraying these herbs on the cows that help repel all the flies.

And hoenstly, I don't go to Georgia often enough to get bored with the nothingness that is south georgia. We hike, and hunt, and go mudding in some areas and it keeps us occupied for the week that we usually stay. IAnd if we had relatives that live in North Georgia, I would definately make the drive if just to see more. But it's really pretty out there. I enjoy it.

Also, I met my Cousin's Husband's Neice who is a hottie and she shows us around as well. It was a decent trip. Hopefully i'll get to visit more.

Do you eat any kind of mushrooms? Majority of them are grown in pure crap.

 

[Fausto]

Placer: check out north GA in the fall when the leaves are turning if you can. It's pretty amazing.

Touching and eating are two very different things. Eating usually insinuates being cooked first.

 

[rpberry123]

were those dairy cows or eatin' cows?

They don't do anything to try and remove those ticks, that many cant be good for the cows.

Eat some of them and report back!

 

[Placer14]

I'm already home in Florida No more Georgia for me until possibly Thanksgiving. And sadly I didn't have my camera with me when i was visiting the niece. maybe in November.

I don't think I can visit Georgia this fall...and I doubt the leaves will still be turning in november... But there is always next year.

Alma looks like it's fairly close to where my aunt lives. She lives in Cobbtown (probably as small if not smaller than Hazelhurst.)

It is kind of dull/slow there, but that's part of the charm. Granted, I don't think I could live with that charm 365 days a year, but it's nice to relax to for the short duration when I go out there to visit my aunt. The bugs there are REALLY bad though.
