I saw this old shack on M-32 west of Atlanta close to where the town of Big Rock used to stand. The town was named after a boulder that is mostly buried in the ground. The town is gone but the rock is still there. A historical marker stands at the location to mark the spot
Thank you for following me. I wanted to give you all some candy, but that would be a little difficult. Instead, I am giving away a copy of Volume 2. post a comment on what your favorite candy is. Mine was taffy from the taffy store in Charlevoix, until it pulled the crown off my
