Recent small town sights:

1. These cute lampposts, complete with signs that say: "Trails - it starts with tr." Why yes, yes it does. (Of course, they are referring to the TR that equals Traveler's Rest, SC. Umm - it's almost clever...)



2. The Old Time Cafe, home of the "Randy Burger." One can only wonder what exactly that is...

3. The F-Mart, which apparently sells famous hotdogs. Maybe that's what the friendly-looking gentleman in the overalls was going to get...

4. Random animal carvings being sold on the side of the road made out of tree trunks. While I seriously wonder what the heck people do with those, I am also somewhat impressed by the craftmanship.

5. This church sign:

(no comment.)

6. Little produce stands on the side of the road. I do seriously love these! I hardly ever take the time to stop, but I always think to myself that I should!

7. A place called Dumpies Repairs. Spelled just like that. Now isn't that special...

I totally know where the F-Mart is! (I love how innocently profane that name sounds...) That was our landmark for finding the contra-dance place. It was a little scary in the middle of the night. Seriously.

I could take you to Bishopville and you would have shady small town pictures to blog about for the rest of your life maybe...it is about as typical (or in your words "backwoods" :) as it gets! There is actually a Lee County cotton "museum"...and it looks about how you would imagine a museum in s small town would look!

I am a little intrigued to know what exactly there is to see in a cotton museum... besides cotton??

And, I definitely think it would be cool to go see ya'lls cotton farm. I love the pictures in Lauren's house and the cotton in the bathroom.
