#9 on the 16 State GeoAdventure

a side trip of about a hundred miles into the northwest

corner of Alabama

logging country

we saw trucks hauling utility pole logs

one of a very few trees showing fall colors

visited the older part of a cemetery

born 1807

born 1818

born 1809

once an elementary school

now a community center

community storm shelter

next to the volunteer fire station & the community center

Lamar County

definitely Republican country

or maybe they are the ones who placed the signs

once a country gas station and country store

now a thrift shop & consignment store

Then it was back to Mississippi and a surprise in Tupalo. That will be a separate post later in the week. Always fun to 'stumble across' something really fun & interesting. Heading north and state #10.
