We left our nice little site and headed north thru Georgia on US301:
It is a nice two lane road that goes thru many forests, over swamps and rivers, and thru many small towns. We noticed that many of the small towns are mostly abandoned. It is so sad.
Over one of the many swampy areas:

South of the Border reminds me so much of Wall Drugs in South Dakota only more “touristy”. The complex has restaurants, gas stations, a video arcade, motel, campground, truck stop, a small amusement park, a mini golf course, shopping, fireworks stores, and a motocross training complex. It is huge.
Many of the places were closed or in renovation mode so we took a walk around, stopped in the shops that were open, and had supper at the grill.
There are lots of large statues:
