Our current job has us in Gray, Georgia. It is a tiny place just northeast of Macon. One afternoon last week I went exploring on my bicycle. This is what I found.
Apparently in 1825, LaFayette stopped here and made an address.
One of the things that makes a town a 'town' is the establishment of a church. This one was built in 1810. At that time, Gray was at the leading edge of the frontier.
The city cemetery seemed to go forever into the woods. Unfortunately, I was in flip-flops and I don't relish the thought of poison oak and fire ant bites so further exploring would have to wait for another day.

You are in some beautiful country. I had to read your About Me page to see why you are all over the place more than anywhere else, lol. My husband is a construction site superintendent, he just moves around town. For perennials...the first year they sleep, the second they creep, the third they leap!
Oh, what a neat looking cemetery.
Fire ants stink! I'm glad we don't have them here, but they say we will eventually.
It looks as if your exploring expedition was very successful. I didn't know that LaFayette got to the interior of Georgia during his 1825 tour.
I have not understood, what you mean?
Such pretty finds so clse to home!
Good thing you didn't risk the ants and poison oak! Love the old church.
