Providence Canyon




















 Providence Canyon State Park

8930 Canyon Road, Lumpkin, GA 31815

1,003 acre state park located in Stewart County, southwest, GA.

This really reminds me of Bryce Canyon National Park, which is in southern western Utah. I think land formations are so cool, it is just wild what the earth is made up of ... awesome!!! I am curious why the folks who are recommending you travel to Providence Canyon say it "Georgia's Little Grand Canyon" ...I guess I can see what they are saying but I say it is still leaning more towards Bryce than the Grand Canyon we have been so super lucky to see both of those. When we were driving into this park there was what I would guess was a rattlesnake (I was not close enough, couldn't hear his rattle or all that, it didn't look like a garter snake) on the road, now my hubby missed him, but he was up on the back of his tail, hiss at us, spitting and then here can a tractor trailer behind us going well over 60ish, 'cause that was the speed of the road ...I am wondering if he did make it??! Found it extremely odd that a snake of such a smaller size would be so violent with vehicles that are just so larg?!? Wild times!!! I wonder how the folks who deal with rattlesnakes ...live their lives, I freak out over a copperhead ...can't imagine seeing a rattlesnake???!!?!? My brother has seen the while hiking trails ...they love sunning on top of the rocks. How is life this week? You good? Thanks for stopping by today. Take Care. Beth ( ;

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

Bass Pro Shop, Memphis, Tennessee

Bass Pro Shop, "Memphis Pyramid", in Tennessee. We always enjoy visiting Brass Pro Shops around the USA. They are so always so creative, all different and interesting to see what they will be sharing. We are not fisher people. we just can appreciate the business. All sorts of games to play. Shopping. Lodging. Restaurants. In the brochure you can get at the front door this quote can be seen... "Ride the tallest freestanding elevator in America. Experience a ride to the top of the Pyramid in the 28-story glass elevator. Once you are at the top, stand on glass-floored observation decks that offer 360-degree views 300 feet above Memphis and the Mississippi River." (we didn't do this, it does cost extra doe to ride on up. but fun to see from the bottom looking up.) A must see if you are in the Memphis,TN. area. Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your day!
