Thanks, Jock.  I was passing through down there about 11 years ago and stopped in.  The boyhood home hadn't been restored yet back then--it looks downright nice now in comparison.  Did you go to "downtown" Plains?  Like stepping through a time warp.

You'd never know that South Georgia is in the same state as Atlanta.  Me, I'd take South Georgia.

Alright, Final pic...the BIG Peanut Tour Bus....

If you enjoy ANYTHING with a peanut base, Keep in mind the importance of this matter....

I understand the lack of reationship to the 39th President, other than the "Peanut President."

Hey, I enjoyed them.  But I will agree that the bar has been raised lately for trip photos.  Sheesh, I was thinking of of doing one of the back roads down here but now...?

Great photos Jock......and I certainly appreciate your humor! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  That was some funny chit! [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

While it looked like a nice place to "be from"........it looked a little to slow paced for this ol' man.

Believe It or Not, the Secret Service still has a station in Plains...Limited, however given his past...I attempted to take a photo however was instructed to "keep on moving."

Jock,

The wife and I took a long weekend down there about 2 years ago and like you said, it was not to be a political statement, but I was very impressed at how nice Plains, Americus, Providence Canyon and the surrounding areas were.

Wow Buffy, that little Grand Canyon looks wonderful.  I had no idea there were hills like that in Georgia.

Is it true that the canyon was caused by too many Billy Beer relief runs ? [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Some great pics, all kidding aside.

Buffy,

Thanks for the insight...I had no idea that was there...shame on me...Of course I must admit, the Billy Beer during the visit did not assist in matters either..
