Ski Southeast Messageboard

On a Saturday ride with the family in law. We just came through Mentone, then hit the GA line. I'll snap a few photos and document the ride while we roll. BTW: the big yardsale thing is going on and we've been crossing it from time to time.

Apparently there's a large portion of my family I married into in my father-in-laws side buried in thus graveyard in Lafayette, Ga.

I understand there are people dying to get into that cemetary.

Well we just ran through chicamauga at about 95 because my wife jessi wanted food. We heard for 45 minutes "I'm howngry!"(not sure how to spell how she pronounces it but that's pretty close.) either way here's a quick shot I was able to snap that is almost entirely uninteresting.







And here's where we chose to eat here in Oglethorpe, ga.

Cemetaries in general have been that way for years.

On our way back out of Oglethorpe I thin we're gonna stop through the battlegrounds. Ive never been there but always wanted to stop and look around.

FWIW: the shoneys in Oglethorpe didn't even have pie anymore. Not exactly recommended.

Ohio boys mustve been nuts...





Cannons on the front line at LaFayette Road





12lb. Napolean gun. Good for 1600 yards.









Here's a smaller rifled gun.











Guess which of these guns was used "forced laborers"

This is a ballistics chart from a 12 lb gun. I found it fascinating to think they Could fire a projectile over 1500 yards... Much less a 12 pound steel ball.



Its not a matter of whether or not I get a cannon, but when



And I want one of these

I dIdnt realize there were so many nice home here on top of lookout mountain.



Now to find a place to park and go do some more photography.
