Georgia, part 1
So upon entering Georgia, we had no idea that Georgians are the nicest people ever. Every town we go through is home to people who look past our boards and see us. Instead of ignoring outsiders they treat us like champions and I appreciate it. Jimmy Wilson and his daughter Brooklyn were riding past on a 4 wheeler and stopped to ask us what we were doing. Immediatly after they drove off to their house to get us I've water and green tea and then met us in town to by me insoles for my shoes. He then offered to let us shower at the fire station he works at. Shortly after we were going through town in Lula and met Skye who made us a pizza and then down the road a few miles we had passersby offer us a place to stay. I love georgia! The next morning (yesterday) we hoofed it into Gainesville and were invited by my new freind Joel to hang out at his tattoo parlor through the rain. Jimmy had called a freind from the Gainesville Times and we met up with their reporters at the shop.
