I made my muscadine run yesterday, (Thur.) I got some Muscadine Jelly, no sugar added, nothing but fruit.
I was at the farm in Delano, Tn. I also got some real Sorghun, not a blend like that in the stores around here.
It was grown and cooked there on the farm. Some other things I got was a yellow meated watermelon, and a few taters.

Next stop was at the nearby winery. I picked up a case of Muscadine wine and a bottle of black berry wine.
SOW has the only wine that I have found that taste like the old timers made at home. Hmmmmm good.

Then back to Georgia and turn in the the north Georgia hills. Headed to a big creek to eat lunch. The creek
was mosty dry. The hunters had move in with their camps, that cause me to just hog in to a big rock to eat
lunch. Next was a ride up to the high ground, I have to go up in them hills from time to time. I climb up and around
a waterfall to work off the lunch. At an overlook I seen something new to me. There was streaks of brown zig zaging
through the hills. While I was looking at this, i seen a cloud of dust moving along as a car was following the brown
dusted trees in the distance. I could not see the road or the car, just the dust cloud moving. I have seen that in movies
about the old west, but never in Georgia.

Next two stops in Ellijay for a visit at the new geocaches there.

Now I could have went home but I headed to a 4 wheel road. After all it was dry, wrong it had rains cats a dogs around that part of the state. The dried up ponds were full, and the creeks were rolling.
And the mud holes were full. Well so what, I can go with Abner anyway. First mud hole no problem.
Next mud hole, was looking the same, full of water, but the big wheel 4 wheelers had dug it out and the water
was up to my head lights. My front bumper was pushing the mud from between the ruts. With the new tires
I had enough traction to plow though that one too. I think it would be a good place for a cache, grin!
Next I came to a ford at a creek that was over waist deep. I turn around because there was no cell coverage.

The return trip was as much fun as going in was. Stopped at the last creek crossing and wash the truck off.

Back in Ellijay and eat supper. 250 miles for the day and two smily's.
