The British are Coming!!

We ventured into Georgia this weekend, but missed out on the peaches! I kept looking for a side of the road stand, but alas, we left the Peach State empty handed. But we did make it to Fort Frederica! And now I think we've seen every fort and site where people have been massacred within a hundred mile radius. This one was a ghost town of sorts, but we didn't see any ghosts, just a lot of building foundations made of tabby. Some of the fort was still standing, but for the most part it had all worn away over the past 250 years. The British set up the colony to defend Georgia, killed a bunch of bloody Spaniards (who were probably just getting finished killing the dirty French), stuck around for a few years, and then abandoned the site to rot away until the National Parks system found a way to charge people to check it out. In all, it was a good day! Paul enjoyed running through the tall grass and playing in the dirt. Here are some pictures from the day!

DISCLAIMER: This message is in no way intended to offend any Georgia locals who may randomly come across this blog, or any British people, or people of Spanish heritage, or any clean French people. That includes Frederica Frank or Georgia Gene. I loved your home town, and plan on visiting it again soon. This message is simply the sarcastic ramblings of a Montana raised redneck shack dweller. Enjoy!

If you're at all confused by the above disclaimer, see my last post and related comments.

I'm not so sure,but I think this South Vernon redneck,shack dweller from Ohio has just been insulted. I hope a stinkin' lawyer doesn't some day sue us all.

Way to cover yourself with the disclaimer there lawyer boy! To funny! I am really enjoying all your photos and funny stories. Thanks, guys! I am looking forward to the day when I have a fast enough internet to watch the videos and hear the music too.
Love ya!
