Apalachee is a small town, and we believe the only real sight to see is the old 1910-era schoolhouse. Situated about seven miles north of Madison along Highway 441, this town was host to two different railroad lines. In 1888 the Georgia Central was built, and in 1907 John Bostwick built the railroad that ran from Bostwick to Apalachee as a connector to the Central of Georgia. 1907 was the same year in which the community of Apalachee was incorporated.

Ellaville was a thriving town in the 1800's with a population of approximately 1000 people. Ellaville was located at the merging of the Withlacoochee and Suwannee rivers. George Drew, who became the first Governor of Florida after the Reconstruction, had a mansion 1/2 mile northwest of the Ellaville site. The mansion was destroyed by fire in 1970, but the ruins are still there. There are also ruins of a sawmill on the west side of the Withlacoochee River. The town started to decline in the 1900's and the post office closed in 1942, and Ellaville disappeared.

Juliette, Georgia is not far from Atlanta, and Juliette and the Whistle Stop Cafe make a great outing. The movie Fried Green Tomatoes was filmed in Juliette. The 1991 film was directed by John Avnet starring Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, Mary Stuart Masterson, Mary Louise-Parker, Chris O'Donnell and other well knowns. Juliette is a tiny town, and other than meeting some nice people, the only reason to visit Juliette seems to be to enjoy the movie location and tourist-oriented businesses that have developed as a result of the movie.

The Kingsland, Georgia Convention & Visitors Bureau advertising says: "Kingsland Georgia is located on I-95 at the Georgia / Florida state line. The Kingsland area is a community of pristine coastal beauty where the meandering rivers wind through dense marshlands... where challenging golf quietly exists among tidal creeks and marsh grass... where river shores and lakes are brimming with wildlife." What they didn't say is that the Kingsland police love to write traffic tickets, and in our experience, the courts love to side with the police seemingly with little regard to the facts.

Savannah is a feast for the eyes. We love old buildings and architecture, so time in Savannah ranks among the most enjoyable days we have ever spent on vacation. Savannah has an incredible collection of beautiful old buildings, huge trees draped with Spanish Moss, and lovely flowers, plants, and gardens. When you put all of this together, it is truly stunning. We live just a few hours away, but we had never seen Savannah until we began the first trip Round America on April 1, 2003.
