Uncle Remus Museum

Uncle Remus Museum was approved as a Literary Site and has been posted as a Lucky 7! I'm so excited! I was concerned about the literary site since the group has only one active officer. At the time of the posting he hadn't signed on for 3 weeks. I've contacted him about trying to breathe some new life into this category, but have gotten no response. I'm finally caught up on all my backlog from vacation and everywhere we've been since we got home! Time to go exploring again! WooHoo!

Wayne-Gordon House

I'm so excited to have been able to waymark the Wayne-Gordon House in Savannah. When we visited, "The Birthplace" was already marked in several other categories. I visited those and moved on. Then I ran into a ghost story about the property and was able to post the house and it's story in the ghosts and hauntings category. What A Thrill for this Girl Scout!

Caesar's Head State Park




Caesar's Head State Park includes this amazing overlook of the Blue Ridge Escarpment. I was able to visit and post waymarks here and log my first Earth Cache! I've been after that icon for quite awhile! Visit The Earth Cache Blue Ridge Escarpment. Bill and the kids took the stairs down into Devil's Kitchen while Uncle Kim and I took the back way in. You can view the whole area and get an upclose view with the coin operated binoculars. Our Florida flatland kids were so fascinated by the mountains! It was fun to watch them take in the sights and hear the Oohs and Ahhs!

Fort Stewart, GA



Our first stop on Tuesday was Fort Stewart - Home of the 3rd Infantry Division Mechanized. It was quite an ordeal getting a pass from the TSA officer who didn't speak much english. I can't wrap my brain around that. It seems to me that our military bases should be protected by our soldiers or at least by someone who speaks the language well, but what do I know? Anyway we finally convinced him that we were not terrorists and we got our pass. The kids had a great time seeing all the military equipment and aircraft displays. There is a museum on base, but we were pressed for time. Maybe next trip. We had a good laugh over the "Tank Crossing" signs we passed on our way out. Visit the Tank Crossing. I was suprised to see that there were waymarks posted on the base. I wasn't sure if it would be acceptable but since it is we were able to post some of our own.
