There are many old Coca-Cola bottling plants throughout  small-town America. This one was in Fort Valley, a block away from my motel. |
Here is a detail of the above building. |
This was the site of my first flat tire of the trip. I was lucky to have the wide shoulder and bike lane, since SR 96 narrowed at the bottom of the hill (eventually, when the road is four lanes throughout, I think all of SR 96 will have bike lanes). Fixing a flat on tour is a big production since all the panniers have to be removed first. |
Howard was one of the few towns on SR 96 in western Georgia that had not been bypassed by the new four-lane highway yet. |
The primary tourist attraction of Howard was Crackerland Country Store, a combination antique shop, grocery and deli. |
I was surprised to see a Smokey the Bear sign in Spanish out in the middle of nowhere in western Georgia. |
