Sometime during the night a tractor was maneuvering very close by that woke me up.
Fixed pancakes for bfast, cup of cold brewed coffee, & yogurt completed the table. Normal bfast chores completed off to dealership for sensor installation. Val said that Egolf did not go far enough in their repair or they would have discovered this sensor. She guaranteed the problem has been fixed.
Drove back highways to Macon. Zysk, I drove around Montecello per your suggestion. It was a mix of old w/ new. Old well taken care of big frame houses. Town square that routes traffic around the periphery w/ stop lights.
Saw this old house back a red dirt road. Venture property:
Used gps to pin point Macon’s Pig Trail. Got pretty close because there is no street address. Rode out just guessing the trail. Single track, hand built, serpentine over roots, some small ups & downs. Played thru planted rows of pine trees. Tried following a number sequence but maybe several numbers were torn down that kept getting me on a loop. Ended up riding back out the same way. Not a flowey trail, demanded handling skills to remain upright. Enjoyed having to deal w/ rough tread. That would be the cat’s meoow if the machine built trails could have roots & rocks on the tread.
Sunny ride but windy & getting into 40s.
Listened to inauguration on XM. Obama is a eloquent motivating speaker. May America rise up.
Observation:
Former child of the 60s, white, traveling in Georgia, listening to a black man sworn in as president of US. Public protest got the troops out of Vietnam sooner than a black man elected president. But protest & realization that what we were doing was wrong and we changed. May Obama lead America to other heights.
Drove S on US 129 to Hawkinsville. Found a dead end paved road leading up hill between a motel & restaurant. Chilly again. It snowed in Thomson this AM.
Drove past The Allman Brothers Band Museum right on main drag. Also passed Carl Sandburg’ s memorial.
Macon is home of Thomson seat posts & stems. I ran out of time to visit this go.
Tomorrow I drive down to Santos, FL to meet up w/ Rob & Rick on Santos trails. A bit warmer would be enjoyed.
So two things…
1. The house is likely an old sharecropper’s place. Could have even been from 19th century.
2. A way to gauge propane usage: Calculate total BTU for your rig. LP has @ 91,500 BTU/liquid gallon. Do the math.
