@SUCKMEOFF ROPER really? Things may have been rough back then, but I can tell you having visited many black churches here in NC the ladies in those churches are always well dressed in the finest most of the gentlemen too, and every elderly lady wears a hat! I love going to these churches talk about Praise these folks know what that is for real! Stay safe & be blessed
I feel like Georgia is CALLING ME ! Come.... come ...... So beautiful and I am in love with the red dirt ❤️ You are right Robert, that tree lined road is amazing. That Church looks untouched since the last day they closed the doors.....😢. I am always saddened to see vacant Churches. Thank you for another sensational, tranquil journey through your gorgeous State of Georgia.... life really does move slowly in the South compared to New York STATE! Hence the tranquil feeling ! Thanks!
As we looked through that church window, I could hear gospel music and see hands raised high, and I could feel the Holy Spirit feeding the souls of the parishioners. I bow my head and thank God for Robert and family for doing what they do. Blessings!
I was going to comment on the fact that Cody is involved in this effort to bring the past back and take care of it. I think it's wonderful that a young person is involved in this effort and hopefully is interested in keeping the past alive. I commend him on his efforts and his respect of the past. I am a 78 year old great grandmother who was raised in the city but always had a great respect for the way of life that my parents and grandparents lived, basically in the country. In my younger days I was able to visit the cemeteries and old towns of the past. I took up genealogy about 1989 and enjoyed learning about my family and life in general back in "the" day. I only wish I could still walk the cemeteries and old country roads that I did in my younger days to learn more and appreciate the way of life people lived back then. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and stories you leave us with. Mary Head
Wow. This one brought tears to my eyes. Especially that old country church. It was beautiful, I could vision it filled with people singing the old gospel hymns. Very peaceful vibes. Glad you captured this one before it is gone. 🥰
Yes. The charm of history, the people, the past. Fading into something new, ever changing. Captured, thank God', for those who value and care. Alot of love was given there.
Thank you again for a tour. I'm 64 and not in great health. I look around the area I live in and wonder what it will be like in 100 years, with almost every one dead that i knew. I hope that people like you will continue to help bring the past alive again, at least for a few moments
It is as though I can hear the echos of voices from the past as you walk toward the church - and I wonder, who was the last person to close that door. Who was the last person to leave that building forever...
From the peak of extreme happiness of a wedding to the depth of sorrow of a funeral, that little church saw and heard it all. The little white church where my Daddy's funeral was preached in 1950 is gone now. In it's place are many, many huge house in so, so many subdivisions. I can fully appreciate now that Little White Church in the Wild Woods, a song from those days. As I grow closer to 74, when ever you show all this "times gone by" finds of yours, brings tears to my eyes while making my soul so happy to have lived that life, in "times gone by". BTW, even through the window, the inside looked really nice. Wish we could have been allowed to go inside. But alas...... Thanks for letting me ride along with ya'll on another GREAT country get-a-way!! 💖
G'Day Robert and Family, Sad to see that the Family's moved away from such a wonderful location, the Death of small towns and farming community's also has a strong grip in Australia, thanks for another good one, God bless all.
So amazing, especially the church!!! Like it's frozen in time. I keep wondering if you will ever come across my ancestors . They were originally from Georgia. Not sure where exactly, but I was told there was a small mountain named after them...thank you for sharing these beautiful echoes of the past!
Very nice video!! That church was especiall fascinating. At first it looked like a church that could be still used and yet there is no road or parking area. The cemtery was well kept, also. Thanks so much for sharing all this with us! I hate being quarantined in Ohio!!
This is a beautiful place. I just want to hug that old church. I want to clear the brush, paint the exterior, make repairs and hope it continues on for others to see. Thank you so much for sharing this. I always appreciate being able to "go" on your adventures with you.
Beautiful area. My great, great grandfather was born in Murray county Georgia in 1855 (Charles Wm Keith) and his father Joel Keith was born in Habersham, GA in 1827. These early settlers were yeoman farmers who were close to the land. Seeing this video reminds me of that time and place. Thank you.
Love your work. I am from Australia and it is just wonderful to see your country. I also love Cody he seems a very gentle person. Keep up the great work. 😀
Beautiful adventure! And it's nice to finally see an old cemetery that's actually maintained! Props to Cody, too, for standing up those flags. Too bad you couldn't get inside that old Church. It looked really nice on the inside, almost as if it's still in use. Glad you gave us a peek through the windows! Take care, guys! Keep doing what you're doing. Enjoy these videos -- keep'em coming! Valerie
Frozen in time, they're the places you find, the people are gone, but not forgotten, thanks to you and your crew, sharing glimpses of life, long gone but renewed, renewed with life, thanks to you and your crew, bringing light to the lives, of people long gone, long gone but not forgotten.
I do like the beautiful tree's, particularly the one near the old church which seems to be in use. The tombs are interesting too. Thank you for going out of your way to do these video's. It gives some of us a sense of normality.
What another Amazing History Adventure, Thank You Robert for your time and love of sharing your awesome adventure with me and others who watch your History Adventure
Awes9me video. The church was so beautiful. I could just see them having all day services with dinner on the grounds lots of gospels and prayers. Thanks for sharing the past
Georgia looks beautiful! I’ve only been to the airport, so that doesn’t count! Thank you for showing us how beautiful it is, especially since my state is still locked down 😊
The church was absolutely beautiful! I could just imagine the ladies in old time dresses and bonnets in the pews, horses and buggies, oh my if I could go back in time just for a glimpse!!! Thank you for the awesome video!!!!!
This is an extremely beautiful video. I love old barns & am committed to painting on canvas ones I come across in Missouri as well as the wild flowers of this area but your video reminded me of the many trips I made into southern Georgia & could pick out old home sites because of a cascade of pink roses going wild at that time & the orange day lillies rivaling the display in their remembrance of those who had planted & cared for them so many years previous. In most cases the homes were like the one you documented settling into the ground or even further gone..apparent only if one noticed what had been a driveway into the place & a timber or two of the barn rising above the vines & brush. It was those trips that taught me what we do in our lives can live long after us in memorial even if we live simple lives away from urban rush & clamor. While watching this video, I also decided to save certain of your videos showing such buildings for the singular purpose of also documenting some of the more evocative barns & houses of south Georgia in oil or acrylic as well as those of Missouri. They will all be gone in a few more decades & those who come along later will have nothing to imagine the home sites of those who went before us perhaps only thinking those cascades of roses & swaths of daylillies are only wild occurences. (I already save many of your videos for sharing with friends & family or to re-watch as many of them do. These to paint from is just another category of my collection & it requires I review all your previous videos for other subject material.)
OMG ROBERT I ALWAYS WONDER HOW YOU FIND SO MANY BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN THE GEORGIA WOODS, I LIVE IN MIAMI AND I ALWAYS WATCHED YOUR VIDEOS I REALLY LIKED EVERY SINGLE VIDEO THAT'S BEAUTIFUL THAT RURAL GEORGIA THANKS FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS
How beautifully quite and untroubled this place seems to be. Your videoing and narrative capture the essence perfectly. I want to be there. What I would give to be seated alone in that lovely little church, on a beautiful afternoon, with the windows opened and talking to God. No cathedral could compare. Thank you Robert and Cody.
A couple of us used to drive down some of the dirt roads of Oklahoma, and I took many pictures of old houses, and barns. I loved to do that. Also found many cemeteries, and even found graves of my ancestors of whom I never knew anything about. I miss those days, and often think about it. Love watching your videos, it takes me back.
Robert beautiful oak trees.. N this area is breath take n. The birds n the background n the quietness of the area must a been a bless n to the landowners.... 😊 yes I agree the owners r probably buried close to there home... 🙂💕🌲
Fantastic Robert simply outstanding thanks for it keep up the good work, these areas should never decay into the ground or else we will loose our roots in this country. Thanks you for your time brother.
When I was a little feller my aunt and her husband lived in South Georgia in a little town called Cotton , I think, it was south east of Albany . I use to go see her in the summer and my uncle would take me to a fish camp in Jackson Florida. Thank you for the upload and your time
Hi Robert ive been watching this channel for a while now and its so nice to see the country side from afar im an Aussie living in South Australia and this is the kind of thing i love to watch have a good day and take care
I'm new to your videoes and I ask myself, "where have you been all my life?" Or, at least all my you tube life. I'm quarantined in N.Y. and your beautiful work has been a God send. Mary
Hats off to Cody for replanting those flags. Very respectful. Cody is that quiet guy on your adventures, but often when the camera catches him he's smiling. I am always fascinated by what you call the false crypts - I have never seen one here in WI where I live like that. Also the large flat slabs that are used - again, have never seen anything here like that. The church was beautiful. I love old churches.
Amazing video! The church is absolutely breathtaking. Doesn’t look as though it’s been abandoned or not in use for too long. I didn’t see any sign of vandalism in the video. If the church isn’t rescued and restored.....SOMEONE....SOMEHOW.....SOMEWHERE.....needs to rescue those beautiful pews ins the church. MANY MANY THANKS TO ROBERT & CODY!!! 👍🏼💜
Beautiful and peaceful , wow the church is amazing , so sad that is has been forgotten , thank you so much for sharing enjoy your day and please be safe out there and God bless you and your family and friends , thank you Cody for putting the flags back in place
What a beautiful cemetery. I wish we could have gone through it and read more of the headstones. The window panes in that old church were fascinating. There seemed to be some windows older than others. Some of the windows were nine over nine, while others were six over six. The glass in the nine over nine looked very fragile. I love old windows. Love your videos Robert.
Another great adventure. I was shocked at how at the insides of this beautiful church were. Salvageable? Probably not, but would be so worth the effort, if it was saved immediately. I often wonder how any terrain looked 100 or 200 years ago. I am an old soul, as I live more in the past, than the present.
A 100 yr Wheat penny just on the surface . I wonder how long ago since somebody actually used it to buy something!! A penny would have bought something I guess 100 yrs ago. You guys somehow manage to capture the essence of the past in your videos, not just visually but the whole feel of the videos you make give off a special aura.You feel the history. Sorry I can’t describe it better than that but I hope you get what I’m trying to say👍
Now now I'm not that old but I can still remember penny candy, 5 cent candy bars, 10 cent chips, 10 cent cokes, 5 cent packs of gum. The convenience store was the local gas (service) station.
donnie brown Oh, my gosh. Those were the days when my Daddy would give us three little girls a quarter and we could fill up a little brown paper bag with all sorts of penny candy. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
@@susieq2cute yeah we used to ride our bikes around picking up bottles for the return deposit. Take them to the local "Pure" service station/country store. Thought we had hit the jackpot when the deposits went from two to three cents. Thanks
Thank you for sharing. I have a Complement for you an your Son. Thank you both for being so respectful of the Cemetery and the Young man for putting flags back up right a cleaned off. Makes me Proud to know there are still Younger Generations that still care.
Cudos to Cody as said before me. I really appreciate your respect! I really wish that there was a method to preserve items like the buildings you have shown to us in this video. Makes me sad to think that one day they will be totally gone.
Georgia has so much history...both sides of my mom's family are from Georgia going back to the early 1700's. I spent my summers growing up in Toccoa where my Grandmother was from...My family there had farms going back to the colonial period. Sadly much of what was there when I was a kid is gone now. I do miss it.
When you found the Penny, I immediately pictured a little Boy or a Girl walking to the General store to buy a piece of licorice or a couple of lemon drops 🚶 That's fascinating, that Church looks like it's in surprisingly good condition. Great video, thanks for sharing this with us.🇺🇸✌️
My best friend just moved to Idaho because her husband (who loves outdoor sports) couldn’t stand to be stuck in Georgia. Granted, they’ve sent back beautiful pictures from there but to me there really isn’t anything or anywhere any prettier than rural Georgia and Coastal Georgia. Quiet red dirt roads lined with blackberries and honeysuckles coupled with the summer humm of cicadas is like the most amazing thing on earth. I don’t think Yellow Stone could compare. Maybe that’s because I’ve never been there...but I just see so much beauty and peace in our home state. The outside world just sort of disappears when you go down an old dirt road.
Good video. Every time I watch videos like this, it makes want to buy 20 or so rural acres and move there away from the city. With my luck though, it would be a good distance from any job that paid decent.😞
Great video, glad I found your channel. My family has been in Georgia for some 200 years. I am also a bit of a history nerd so I really enjoy seeing the old places around the state.
My great-great grandparents lived in rural Worth County, Georgia in the 1860-80's. Their name was Chestnutt. I wish I could locate their old home homeplace. Thank you for all of your videos!!!
I only visited Georgia once as a very young child on a family camping trip.the roads you were on in the beginning reminded me of it. Interesting places and esp loved the little church. The cemetery seemed interesting and had some very old unusual headstones.Thanks for taking me along. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful Georgia rural area. Would rather look a a country road than a busy city road any day. I wish you had spent more time at the cemetery, could you go back please. The church looks like it had a large congregation by the number of pews. Thank you Cody for putting the flags back. 🇦🇺🐨👍🏼💙❤️💙❤️

susieq2cute i bet love the nature the space. All that much lov
Much respect to Cody for standing those flags up! Robert, you have taught him well.
John Wick Admirable!
Cody, “You’re a good man, Charlie Brown!”
@@sedoragreen8028 I always laugh hearing that. I did actually have an uncle Charlie. Look at my name
He’s a gentleman.
Cody's a good egg.
I can only imagine how beautiful it might have been attending a Sunday service in that church wearing the 1800’s dress..😍
Michael Walter makes me wanna time travel..😄
@SUCKMEOFF ROPER really? Things may have been rough back then, but I can tell you having visited many black churches here in NC the ladies in those churches are always well dressed in the finest most of the gentlemen too, and every elderly lady wears a hat!

Oh yes that’s great how ya said that is was funny lol lol
I feel like Georgia is CALLING ME ! Come.... come ...... So beautiful and I am in love with the red dirt ❤️ You are right Robert, that tree lined road is amazing.
That Church looks untouched since the last day they closed the doors.....😢. I am always saddened to see vacant Churches.
Thank you for another sensational, tranquil journey through your gorgeous State of Georgia.... life really does move slowly in the South compared to New York STATE! Hence the tranquil feeling ! Thanks!
If you love Red Dirt come to Oklahoma. And she has as many tales to tell as Georgia.
I feel you. She's calling me too, to return home.
As we looked through that church window, I could hear gospel music and see hands raised high, and I could feel the Holy Spirit feeding the souls of the parishioners. I bow my head and thank God for Robert and family for doing what they do. Blessings!
Amen

These beautiful videos are what I need at this crazy time. The sights and sounds of rural Ga are a balm for this weary city dweller.
Wow. This one brought tears to my eyes. Especially that old country church. It was beautiful, I could vision it filled with people singing the old gospel hymns. Very peaceful vibes. Glad you captured this one before it is gone. 🥰
Yes. The charm of history, the people, the past. Fading into something new, ever changing. Captured, thank God', for those who value and care. Alot of love was given there.
Thanks for videos. I moved down to Georgia 8 years ago and fell in love with its rich history, culture and southern charm.
Cody is a nice respectful young man, fixing the flags in that cemetery. I liked that church too. Nice video. Thanks, Robert and Cody
That was so lovely. What a beautiful area. Just loved that Church. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe

Beautiful country side. Amazing Cemetery and CHURCH
G'Day Robert and Family, Sad to see that the Family's moved away from such a wonderful location, the Death of small towns and farming community's also has a strong grip in Australia, thanks for another good one, God bless all.
G'day from Wollongong :)
So amazing, especially the church!!! Like it's frozen in time. I keep wondering if you will ever come across my ancestors . They were originally from Georgia. Not sure where exactly, but I was told there was a small mountain named after them...thank you for sharing these beautiful echoes of the past!
You find so much unwritten history on your adventures. So many lives forgotten until you come along.
Your work is really appreciated,,
I see that Cody is with you again. It's great to have a good and loyal friend to share your adventures with!
Very nice video!! That church was especiall fascinating. At first it looked like a church that could be still used and yet there is no road or parking area. The cemtery was well kept, also. Thanks so much for sharing all this with us! I hate being quarantined in Ohio!!
That was beautiful. Tree lined roads, really nice cemetery, and a stunning church. Nice little road trip!
This is a beautiful place. I just want to hug that old church. I want to clear the brush, paint the exterior, make repairs and
hope it continues on for others to see. Thank you so much for sharing this. I always appreciate being able to "go" on your adventures with you.
Beautiful area. My great, great grandfather was born in Murray county Georgia in 1855 (Charles Wm Keith) and his father Joel Keith was born in Habersham, GA in 1827. These early settlers were yeoman farmers who were close to the land. Seeing this video reminds me of that time and place. Thank you.

What a wonderful adventure history is so important
Yes, with some people trying to tear down history.
I do like the beautiful tree's, particularly the one near the old church which seems to be in use. The tombs are interesting too. Thank you for going out of your way to do these video's. It gives some of us a sense of normality.
I love to hear the wind up in the tall trees. So relaxing. This is what kind of life people need. Thank you for the reprieve!
What another Amazing History Adventure, Thank You Robert for your time and love of sharing your awesome adventure with me and others who watch your History Adventure
It never ceases to amaze nor surprise me to see nature reclaiming what humans build and abandon. Great video.
Awes9me video. The church was so beautiful. I could just see them having all day services with dinner on the grounds lots of gospels and prayers. Thanks for sharing the past
That old oak tree is amazing. Sad about the church. It's still intact enough to be saved
Georgia looks beautiful! I’ve only been to the airport, so that doesn’t count! Thank you for showing us how beautiful it is, especially since my state is still locked down 😊
The church was absolutely beautiful! I could just imagine the ladies in old time dresses and bonnets in the pews, horses and buggies, oh my if I could go back in time just for a glimpse!!! Thank you for the awesome video!!!!!
I love your channel...Calgary Alberta. The background music is perfect!
When I think of Georgia - I think of "Gone With the Wind" movie. Beautiful estates, winding driveways with majestic trees.
Nice to see an old cemetery and church not in ruins. Beautiful video! Thank you guys! 👍😁🇱🇷❤️
Cody is an amazing young man..thank you
This is an extremely beautiful video. I love old barns & am committed to painting on canvas ones I come across in Missouri as well as the wild flowers of this area but your video reminded me of the many trips I made into southern Georgia & could pick out old home sites because of a cascade of pink roses going wild at that time & the orange day lillies rivaling the display in their remembrance of those who had planted & cared for them so many years previous.

And Wayne County, too.
Robert beautiful oak trees.. N this area is breath take n. The birds n the background n the quietness of the area must a been a bless n to the landowners.... 😊 yes I agree the owners r probably buried close to there home... 🙂💕🌲
Fantastic Robert simply outstanding thanks for it keep up the good work, these areas should never decay into the ground or else we will loose our roots in this country. Thanks you for your time brother.
That was nice seeing the crop land, and where the fore fathers lived. Hard working people is all I can say. They were strong.
Thank you for making these videos. It's a nice escape.
what a beautiful old church.,i can imagine the old church socials and picnics held there on sundays after services..
I alway's look forward to your videos!!
When I was a little feller my aunt and her husband lived in South Georgia in a little town called Cotton , I think, it was south east of Albany . I use to go see her in the summer and my uncle would take me to a fish camp in Jackson Florida. Thank you for the upload and your time
Just beautiful, thank you!
Hi Robert ive been watching this channel for a while now and its so nice to see the country side from afar im an Aussie living in South Australia and this is the kind of thing i love to watch have a good day and take care
She is so beautiful. I will always love Georgia.
I'm new to your videoes and I ask myself, "where have you been all my life?" Or, at least all my you tube life. I'm quarantined in N.Y. and your beautiful work has been a God send. Mary
Hats off to Cody for replanting those flags. Very respectful. Cody is that quiet guy on your adventures, but often when the camera catches him he's smiling.

You are super awesome guy Robert you and Cody are just real honest too goodness people god bless you both 🙏
What a beautiful place thank you for sharing
thank you for putting back fallen flags etc. it warms my heart to see such respect and care. a rare thing these days. you are very special people
I agree.
Beautiful and peaceful , wow the church is amazing , so sad that is has been forgotten , thank you so much for sharing enjoy your day and please be safe out there and God bless you and your family and friends , thank you Cody for putting the flags back in place
Such beautiful countryside.
What a beautiful cemetery. I wish we could have gone through it and read more of the headstones. The window panes in that old church were fascinating. There seemed to be some windows older than others. Some of the windows were nine over nine, while others were six over six. The glass in the nine over nine looked very fragile. I love old windows. Love your videos Robert.
Thanks to you and Cody.
That's a really cool beautiful place looks so peaceful thanks for the video
Wow amazing find I love history that old church wow just thank of all the people that went there I love your videos
What a pretty peaceful place. There is so much space between the groups of stones, it makes me wonder if there are unmarked graves amongst them.
Another great adventure. I was shocked at how at the insides of this beautiful church were. Salvageable? Probably not, but would be so worth the effort, if it was saved immediately. I often wonder how any terrain looked 100 or 200 years ago. I am an old soul, as I live more in the past, than the present.
I don't know which is sadder, seeing foundation sites of long-gone buildings or seeing a forgotten home that is now falling apart.
A 100 yr Wheat penny just on the surface . I wonder how long ago since somebody
actually used it to buy something!! A penny would have bought something I guess 100 yrs ago.
You guys somehow manage to capture the essence of the past in your videos, not just visually
but the whole feel of the videos you make give off a special aura.You feel the history.
Sorry I can’t describe it better than that but I hope you get what I’m trying to say👍
Now now I'm not that old but I can still remember penny candy, 5 cent candy bars, 10 cent chips, 10 cent cokes, 5 cent packs of gum. The convenience store was the local gas (service) station.
donnie brown 👍❤️
donnie brown Oh, my gosh. Those were the days when my Daddy would give us three little girls a quarter and we could fill up a little brown paper bag with all sorts of penny candy. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
@@susieq2cute yeah we used to ride our bikes around picking up bottles for the return deposit. Take them to the local "Pure" service station/country store. Thought we had hit the jackpot when the deposits went from two to three cents. Thanks
I love that church it look's pretty big to.
Beautiful grounds for that old church.
Thank you for sharing. I have a Complement for you an your Son. Thank you both for being so respectful of the Cemetery and the Young man for putting flags back up right a cleaned off. Makes me Proud to know there are still Younger Generations that still care.
Id love to see a 3 or 4 part series on this cemetery.
1:49 Beautiful. Reminds me of my mom's hometown of Rentz.
Another great video. Loved that church. Keep it up. Stay safe
Cudos to Cody as said before me. I really appreciate your respect! I really wish that there was a method to preserve items like the buildings you have shown to us in this video. Makes me sad to think that one day they will be totally gone.
Georgia is so beautiful. I think I would love living there!
Beautiful setting .
Georgia has so much history...both sides of my mom's family are from Georgia going back to the early 1700's. I spent my summers growing up in Toccoa where my Grandmother was from...My family there had farms going back to the colonial period. Sadly much of what was there when I was a kid is gone now. I do miss it.
Great History here !!!!
When you found the Penny, I immediately pictured a little Boy or a Girl walking to the General store to buy a piece of licorice or a couple of lemon drops 🚶
That's fascinating, that Church looks like it's in surprisingly good condition.
Great video, thanks for sharing this with us.🇺🇸✌️
My best friend just moved to Idaho because her husband (who loves outdoor sports) couldn’t stand to be stuck in Georgia. Granted, they’ve sent back beautiful pictures from there but to me there really isn’t anything or anywhere any prettier than rural Georgia and Coastal Georgia. Quiet red dirt roads lined with blackberries and honeysuckles coupled with the summer humm of cicadas is like the most amazing thing on earth. I don’t think Yellow Stone could compare. Maybe that’s because I’ve never been there...but I just see so much beauty and peace in our home state. The outside world just sort of disappears when you go down an old dirt road.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks God bless
This was an absolutely beautiful video!! Thank you, Cody for fixing those flags!! ❤
Your love of these places really comes through on your videos. Thank you
Good video. Every time I watch videos like this, it makes want to buy 20 or so rural acres and move there away from the city. With my luck though, it would be a good distance from any job that paid decent.😞
Great video, glad I found your channel. My family has been in Georgia for some 200 years. I am also a bit of a history nerd so I really enjoy seeing the old places around the state.
So thankful to watch you on Side Step. It helps me to venture out of our house.
My great-great grandparents lived in rural Worth County, Georgia in the 1860-80's. Their name was Chestnutt. I wish I could locate their old home homeplace. Thank you for all of your videos!!!
Love the old windows on the church.
Thank you for righting the flags Cody.
Pretty cool and respectful,can you imagine what life was like to them
Great video 👍 what fantastic scenery
Another great trip
man that ole church sure is neat and good find on that old penny
Just beautiful
I only visited Georgia once as a very young child on a family camping trip.the roads you were on in the beginning reminded me of it. Interesting places and esp loved the little church. The cemetery seemed interesting and had some very old unusual headstones.Thanks for taking me along. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful Georgia rural area. Would rather look a a country road than a busy city road any day. I wish you had spent more time at the cemetery, could you go back please. The church looks like it had a large congregation by the number of pews. Thank you Cody for putting the flags back. 🇦🇺🐨👍🏼💙❤️💙❤️
