Tourism Opportunities
Sight seeing in several old small southern Georgia towns. Good food in several locations. See the Blue Willow Inn @ Social Circle, GA. Also, don't miss the Whistle Stop Cafe in Juliette, GA - it's the namesake of this ride ("late lunch cruise") and check out the old mill motorcycle museum accross the railroad tracks. The food is absolutely GREAT! Special Note: When you go home, reverse the route or if you're in a hurry then go west a short ways and hit Interstate 75 for the quick and boring trip. If this is the way you choose the stop at exit 201 and eat again at Buckners family style and listen to some great southern gospel music afterwards.
