I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by my booth at Landmark Park in Dothan last Saturday. Spring Farm day was a great event. I enjoyed meeting a lot of new people and talking about their experiences with local history and abandoned structures in the Wiregrass.  I was also overwhelmed with the positive reception "Abandoned Wiregrass" received at the event.    

I will be at the Rudd Art Center in Ozark this Saturday, 26 March from 10 to 2pm for a book signing, along with other local authors. Please stop by and get your signed copy of Abandoned Wiregrass, as well as checking out fantastic art from local artists. 

You can keep up with my book signings, festival booths, speaking engagements, and other happening on my events page.

Hunting for abandoned places just got more interesting.
I've decided to spice up my photography. Instead of driving around in my pickup truck looking for abandoned and derelict structures, I'm driving around on my new motorcycle looking for abandoned and derelict structures.

Its not a midlife crisis. I've had plenty of those. I know that they feel like. This is completely different, I assure you.  Its really a promise kept to myself. I loved motorcycles in my youth, but years ago I quit riding when a family came along. I always promised myself I'd get another one when the time was right. Well, the time was right.  Now I know how Ralphie felt Christmas morning when he finally got his official Red Ryder carbine 200-shot air rifle...with a compass in the stock.

This machine has a compass, too. I  will endeavor not to shoot my eye out.

For those interested, this bike a Harley-Davidson Sportster S.  If you happen to be a motorcycle-riding person and want to follow along with my journeys, occasionally the bike may sneak its way into a photo or into the story. I'm not planning on turning this blog into a motorcycle forum, but the topic may come up occasionally. However, riding around looking for things to photograph is SO MUCH MORE FUN on the back of one of these.  

So, when you see new photos of the lost and forgotten places along the South's biways and highways, you know that getting there was definitely half the fun. 

Thanks to "Train" and folks down at Harley-Davidson of Dothan for the great customer support. ​

I had a little fun with Photoshop last night.  Putin sucks.

​See you next week.
