We found this vacant building just outside of Barnsville, GA, the Lamar County seat. Population: a little less than 6,800. Founded in 1826 and the town was named for Gideon Barnes, proprietor of a local tavern.
In 1920, Barnesville became the seat of the newly formed Lamar County.

The town served as a major hospital site for wounded southern troops during the Civil War. Local families took wounded soldiers into their homes and treated them, with unusually high successful recovery rates. Major General William B. Bate, whom was wounded in Atlanta at Utoy Creek on in 1864, was treated in Barnsville. Bate became the governor of Tennessee and served in the United States Senate. Bate said his recovery was largely the result of the kindness of the locals in Barnesville.

AUCHUMPKEE CREEK BRIDGE

THIS BRIDGE, 120FT. LONG SPANNING 96 FEET, WAS BUILT IN 1892 BY THE FIRM OF HERRING AND ALFORD, USING THE TOWN LATTICE CONSTRUCTION. IT IS THE LAST REMAINING COVERED BRIDGE IN UPSON COUNTY, GA AND WAS RESTORED IN 1985 BY THE UPSON PRESERVATION COMMISSION.
DR. J.W. HERRING WAS A NOTED BRIDGE BUILDER IN THIS REGION UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1911. UPSON'S EARLIEST SETTLERS LIVED IN THIS AREA IN A SMALL BUT THRIVING COMMUNITY KNOWN AS HOOTENVILLE.

Historic Aviation Navigation Arrow on Shinobe Kibe Trail in St. George, Utah


Took the "Hike from Halloween" trail up to an old historic aviation arrow today. Looked good...on paper. Only .75 miles out. It didn't say it was STRAIGHT UP. Top of the world! Crazy cool.

ORIGINAL SITE OF F.A.M.E. RECORDING STUDIO

This is the site of the pioneering music company of FLORENCE ALABAMA MUSIC ENTERPRISES (F.A.M.E.), a name which became renowned worldwide as the home of "the Muscle Shoals Sound".
FAME was founded in the early 1960's by three young local entrepreneurs (Rick Hall, Billy Sherrill and Tom Stafford) who improvised a makeshift studio in a vacant room above the City Drug Store that once stood here. FAME'S earliest recording sessions launched the careers of such music business legends as Arthur Alexander, Rick Hall, Billy Sherrell, Norbert Putnan, David Briggs, Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham, and numerous others. The partnership soon dissolved and Hall took the publishing company, the FAME name in return for the studio equipment and relocated the studio to an empty to***co warehouse in Muscle Shoals.
Hal's next recording of "You Better Move On" by Arthur Alexander was acclaimed as the Shoals first world wide best seller. Over the next several decades FAME recording studios became one of the most successful producers of rhythm and blues, pop and country music in the world.
Rick Hall, whom passed January 2, 2018,
became known as the "Father of the Muscle Shoals Sound".
Remarkable history.

The Red Oak Creek Covered Bridge on
Covered Bridge Rd in Woodbury, GA

This bridge was built in the 1840s by freed slave and noted bridge builder Horace King (1807-1885). Constructed on the Town lattice design, the bridge's web of planks crisscrossing at 45- to 60-degree angles are fastened at each intersection with a total of approximately 2,500 wooden pegs, or trunnels. Although King is credited with the construction of many covered bridges throughout west Georgia, this is his only surviving bridge of this design. At 391 feet, including the approaches, this structure is the oldest and longest wooden covered bridge in Georgia.

Isn't this impressive?
The Morgan County Court House in beautiful Madison, GA.
Population: about 4,000. County population is about 22,000.
These fine people have built a real gem, and have maintained it exceptionally well!
You'll find Madison, GA on the favorite list!

A rather appropriate picture from the Great Pumpkin Night Walk at Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park.
Okay, so I added the "great" in there, sue me. 😃
The Macon, GA National Monument is an interesting experience during the daylight hours, but this time of year they have this special night time event.
An experience we'll not soon forget!

Remember the classic movie "Fried Green Tomatoes"? Well, the original Whistle Stop Cafe in Juliette, GA is where a significant portion of the movie was filmed.
They hold the "Fried Green Tomatoes Festival" there every year at this time and it's a real whoot.

The Old Alabama Stagecoach Road bridge at High Falls State Park in Jackson, Butts County, Georgia. Unfortunately we've not been able to gather much history on it and it appears to have been reconstructed.
The road went through what is now the State Park. I'll keep working to get additional information.

The Heaviest Corner on Earth, a promotional name given to the corner of 20th Street and 1st Avenue North in Birmingham, Alabama.

The name reflected the nearly simultaneous appearance of four of the tallest buildings in the South, the 10-story Woodward Building (1902), 16-story Brown Marx Building (1906), 16-story Empire Building (1909), and the 21-story American Trust and Savings Bank (1912).

Announcement of the last building was made in the Jemison Magazine in a January 1911 article titled "Birmingham to Have the Heaviest Corner in the South".
Over the years, that claim was inflated to the improbable "Heaviest Corner on Earth", which remains a popular name for the grouping.

This marker, erected on May 23, 1985 by the Birmingham Historical Society, with cooperation from Operation New Birmingham, stands on the sidewalk outside the Empire Building describing the group. The buildings have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Today, unfortunately, Birmingham's fortunes have changed dramatically as it is a city in long term contraction. It reached peak population in 1960 at 340,887 and today its estimated population in under 210,000.

Ready to take a ride with us? Just outside of Chatanooga, TN, is Signal Mountain. As you'd understand, people actually LIVE on this mountain, which means those people would need an access road, right? Well, their "solution" to this is a locally famous "road" called the "W Road". God you like to wake up and do this everyday for your morning commute?

Arizona's Apache Death Cave Here's some raw, unedited video going through the "Apache Death Cave" just off Route 66 near today's old ghost town of Two Guns, AZ. The Navajo cornered 42 Apache in the cave, then set a fire at its opening, killing all, and their horses. We appreciate this kind of historical stuff and make a point of visiting places like this in our journeys.

Belly of the Dragon
Belly of the Dragon

So yesterday we shed the kids and ended up at the "Belly of the Dragon"! Now I ask you, WHO could POSSIBLY pass up the opportunity to see that?! When we're left to our own devices, one never knows just what kind of trouble we're going to find. 👹 Here's a short video of the experience, from beginning to end.

This hike was incredible! My advice? Go to the right toward Wall Street and walk Navajo Loop around to the Twin Bridges and Thor's Hammer. Wear good hiking boots, take extra water and pack a cooler with ice cold Arizona sweet tea and sandwiches for when you get back to the car! Or...if you're lucky, the Dawg House mobile gourmet hotdog truck will be at one of the scenic turnouts. Totally hit the spot! More photos to follow... #brycecanyon #utah #johnsontravelingcircus #besthikes #besthikeswithkids #dawghouse

As we were hiking down to see the Natural Bridge, we saw a tree full of vultures. Smh They were just sitting up there, watching us, waiting for a body. Not today bald headed feathery friend, not today. #naturalbridgesmonument #johnsontravelingcircus

Fireflies and cicadas on a warm southern summer night in Collierville

Fireflies!! And then the cicadas started singing. It is a warm, wonderful evening here. Grownups talking and enjoying their conversations while their kids play in the park... Love the south. #johnsontravelingcircus #tennessee

This pool was built during hard times here in Texas as a community center. It is located in a rural area... You just know that families here had a blast meeting, swimming, picnicking. There was a consession stand and a dance floor too. The guy that dug the pool did so with a horse and plow during the hottest part of the summer here in Texas. Amazing bit of history. It's too bad it's not in use anymore.

This place is decked out for Christmas! Your littles will LOVE it. It's the Mississippi Gulf Coast Model Train Museum. #Gulfport

THIS was so much fun! We were aboard The Screamer in Panama City. It is a MUST DO when you come down here

The zaney, occasionally touching, life escapades of a nomadic family touring “off the wall” America...in a mobile tin box!

Tired of the mundane, our family of 4 and a half has “taken to the highways” of America in a box on wheels we call “home”. Trying to keep up with us, friends and family asked us to share our adventures on this page. Come join us in our often hysterical, occasionally touching but always entertaining moments we share as we explore this great country and make new friends along the way!

Life is anything but mundane now.
