Today, in a picture . . .

Lunch at the MuleHouse, Talking Rock, GA.

According to a person in the know, the name "MuleHouse" actually comes from a historical building type common in many small towns back in the early 1900s, a mule house.

These were structures where travelers could safely store or stable their mules when passing through, kind of like today’s RV storage pull-offs, but for livestock. Over time, towns often named buildings, or later, businesses, after that humble but practical function. In Jasper, for example, owner George Koulouris opted for the name Old Mulehouse to pay homage to that local mule-trading history.

Badlands National Park

It took two days of white-knuckle driving, battling I-40, wind gusts strong enough to test your will to live, roads barely wider than my RV by about four inches, and rain that made Noah look like he overreacted. But I made it!

And before @Neal kicks off with the usual nonsense about that being my Mountain Aire, let me stop you right there: no, it is not! Mine’s tucked away over on the budget side of the lot, quietly hoping someone mistakes it for something that belongs here.

Just went through there today. Praying all the way that each strange thump was not something hitting the coach. Definitely a test of driving skill and ability to ignore the long line of impatient vehicles behind me.

Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground, GA

Founded by Atlanta landscaper Jim Gibbs, the gardens began in 1980 when he bought 200 acres and slowly expanded it into today’s 376-acre showcase. After decades of vision and hard work, he opened it to visitors in 2012 as a world-class estate garden.

It was high on Trish’s “must-see” list, so that made it a "must see" for me as well. lol But overall, it was a very beautiful landscaping masterpiece.

True enough. I attribute it to bad eyesight.
