All Day In Plains
Wow, what a day. I hope that you enjoy these pictures. They can only relate a little of the enjoyment that Teri and I shared today. Right here she is, up and atem early this morning. This was our first of 13 searches.
Here she is with the first find.
On the hunt for our second one.
Look at the places Teri goes in search of these things. You must have a decent handheld gps to find these things. I took the laptop today and was on line working while she was out with her handheld.
If you click up this photo you will see Teri deep inside that thicket.
Yep, she found it.
Oh, this was a fun one. Took us 30 minutes to locate this little devil.
Here it is.
A geocacher stopped to visit as he passed. Teri gave up here when she heard me scream and saw me stripping in the middle of the street. I had been infested with fire ants. Whew, this was not funny.
This is one of the travel bugs she grabbed.
This is the spot where Teri found the travel bug. Someone was here last night. Some of the ones we found today had not been found since last August.
We did a geocache here at Mom's.
Mom's kitchen is where Jimmy and his wife, along with 4 secret service agents had lunch yesterday.
Here at Mom's Kitchen we ran into a geocaching couple from Florida. They gave up on this one. We found it and also ran onto the couple again out at Jimmy's home place. We let them know where it was.
Here it is. I found it in this tree.
A picture of where the secret service folks stay on Carter's place. I forgot to get a pic of the house that is visable from the road. They live in a normal house that they built here in 1961. This is the only house the couple has ever owned.
We did a find here in this grave yard. Click up the picture to read the head stone.
Click this one up to see the dates. What history.
Yep, my wife is in there, back of the old grave yard.
Jimmy Carter's boyhood home.
Click this one up. These folks sure have a way with words. This is at J. Carter's boyhood home.
Click this one up and read it. Very interesting. The following picture is the place it talks about.
Dirt road. No speeding allowed around here. No gravel just red dirt and clay for roads.
This is an old Motel where Teri found a stash.
And, this is where she found it. What history this place could tell if it could talk. There was an old sign out front that used to be lit with neon. One piece of the lighting still remains.
Downtown Plains.
That is my sweetheart on a mission. It was accomplished.
Buildings like this are everywhere. It reminds me of my childhood with my grandparents in Arkansas. Very rural. I doubt Plains would still be on the map if not for the President. This is a very small town. It makes Parma Mo. look like a city. Missouri folks will get that one. This is a very neat place to visit. If not for the geocaching we would have only seen Main Street. We spent all day here, I mean over 6 hours. I can draw you a map of this place tonight. Very neat. Come visit if you get close. You will be glad you did, even though you did not vote for Carter the second time around.
Tonight we were treated to a fish supper at the Henderson's. This is Ken's assembly line for the electric wipers. One of these days I will be able to afford one of these. Right now it is Rainx.
In one of Ken's shops.
All of the lovely ladies at the gathering tonight.
Henderson's coach on his drive on pit. This is slick. If I had one of these my underside would look like Steve Ferguson's.
Here is our cook. Roger is a gem. We are sure glad that he forsook Burns Tn. to come be with us.
Some of the men after getting their fill of fish and trimmings.
What a treat all of us have had. We are parked on a beautiful farm. Had great hosts. Lots to eat and they have an extremly nice home. We have been treated to real southern hospitality. I hope we can gather here again someday.

I hope we can gather here again someday.Most all of us are departing in the morning. Teri and I plan to travel 300 miles to Hamilton, Al. Watch the little red car to help us get there. Our 3 month trip is coming to an end. One more night in the coach should do us as we plan to be in our own driveway Wednesday, just a couple of days over 3 months. We will start planning our next trip soon so stay close. I hope I can keep you entertained from around the home place for a few days. Got lots to do to the VW Baja.
So, come on, lets go. We are Dexter bound.
