Folkston, Georgia
The last stop on our east coast trip was in Folkston, Georgia to spend a few days with Fred and Leah Mershon. As always when we get together there was good food, good friends and good times. We even visited the Council on Aging near where the live so Clarence could compare programs and had lunch while we were there.
We went to meet friends of theirs in Jacksonville and hamburgers at the Elks Club turned into a party.
When I ran while I was there I took two of their dogs, Lizzie and Gus to run with me. Rattlesnakes, gators and bears, oh my! All are native to the area. 😳
One night we went into town to watch trains! Yep! Watch trains. Because of the number of trains daily through the town it is known as the “Folkston Funnel” and people come from all over to watch and photograph trains. Then the next day we went to Fernandina Beach for the day. And no day would be complete without something unique. In this case a stop for a Bud Light at the oldest bar in Florida, The Palace Saloon. Like every visit down there it was a great few days.
A day traveling back to Athens with a stop in Macon and then a long day driving to Tom and Stacie’s for Fathers Day and a day off the road and then on the road to home. Until next trip!!
