That’s the water tower outside of Atlanta. I had a beautiful day today. Well 1/2 a day anyway. Last night I made it to Statesville NC. This morning I grabbed a muffin, some yogurt and a coffee that I planned to enjoy it in some sweet spot down the road.

I found a beautiful place in South Carolina. Kings Mountain State Park. This cabin was the start of my hike through the forest to get to Lake Crawford. The trail is the "Living History Farm Trail.
I quickly learned something important when you take a hike in the fall. You must wear your bike helmet. These rather large acorns were bombing my head from 30 foot tall trees thoughout the entire hike.
After tramping over thousands of tree roots, wet leaves, a few rocks, and bombs overhead, I finally caught sight of the lake. definitely worth the hazardous trek.
I was going to sit on the edge of the stone wall by the dam to eat my muffin and yogurt, but when I looked across the lake, it was sunny and very inviting so, change of plan.
Doesn’t that just look like the perfect spot? it’s about 9 o’clock and the sun was just starting to warm things up. Perfect.
This little fellow was adorable. He came down with his mom to go fishing, which apparently he’d been doing all week. He was catching fish right and left. They were the same size as his bait, hilarious. He was so excited. Something only a kid could get excited about. Isn’t that a shame? We should all strive to be Peter Pan.
After struggling back through the forest (and believe me it was a struggle, straight up hill the whole way) I decided to trek a little further to see the actual living farm.
FYI, when I lost cell data in the forest, I found satellite service with my Iphone. David and I were texting back-and-forth. He keeps tabs on me no matter where I am.

They were many different buildings from this living farm. The setting was just beautiful.
They had everything on that farm.
There had to be a mile of this fencing around the farm.
And so the beautiful morning came to an end, and the nightmare began.

If you include the metro area of Atlanta, the population is around 6 million, I know this because they covered 12 lanes of freeway coming and going in and out of Atlanta.

Complete madness. I made it through (a blooming miracle) the traffic started about 20 miles short of Atlanta, bumper-to-bumper, it took me about an hour to get through this wild and crazy city. And no, I will not return home using this route.

OCTOBER 17,2026 MEET CHANCEY, the wandering gnome who comes with me everywhere, compliments of my son, Andrew. Arrived at our destination, Inlet Beach, Panama City, Beach Florida.
This is a very small section of a 70 mi.² lake in Eufaula Fl. This is one of many bass fisherman I saw. The lake was absolutely breathtaking and I didn’t even see all of it.
Eufala was quite the surprise, a very small fishing and retirement area with magnificent homes in about a five block stretch.
Some of the Homes would have a small bungalow next-door. or a small apartment complex, very interesting Boulevard
Naturally, I passed many cotton fields.
And this is why I love getting off of freeways.
Always churches, churches everywhere.
And, I made it. A bonus, I’m on Central time. It’s an hour earlier.
Wow, a private living area off my bedroom. And this isn’t even the best part of the house.
Looks like someone’s ready for their cocktail.

Heavenly spot. The sand feels so great under the feet. The house is right on the beach, perfect weather, and a beautiful house
Went to the farmers market in Rosemary, which is a community right next to us. The market was lovely and everything there was high quality.
Beautiful vegetables, aren’t those fabulous colors?
Unusual mushrooms.
The condition flags are up the beach within view so we always know what’s going on with the water. Yellow means medium hazard for the surf. The wind today was crazy wild tomorrow should be pretty calm.
This is a view of the house from where I was sitting in front of it on the beach.
These chairs belong to the neighbors. They were empty all day, just like the beach, so private.
Another day comes to an end. A perfect end.
