Thanks for sharing that article, love me a good mystery. Had to do a little Googling after reading it.

The librarians and a fabulous volunteer found an old rural map, so we set out to find the family cemetery next. After too many turns down unmarked dirt roads, we gave up (at least temporarily), but we’ll head back for another Elbert County adventure soon.

This is fascinating– I’d never heard of the Guidestones, but now I’m so curious I may have to go check them out. (Plus, anytime something incites fanatics to denounce it as “Antichrist”, I’m bound & determined I’m gonna go see it.) Thanks for sharing!

Plus we took a ride through Athens one way and had a nice lunch there.

The best piece of journalism I found on the guidestones is here:

That’s what convinced me to check it out.

I’d never heard of them and then saw a show about them on the history channel, and all the speculation about who commissioned them. Is it worth a day trip just to go see them?

Her backing band includes Booker T, the guitarist from NRBQ and other great musicians, and the list of songwriters will knock your socks off. Great stuff!

While you were there did you go to see the Guide-stones?
