Weekend Wanderings #10: The Museum of Wonder Drive-Thru✨💀🐍

Hi! Happy Friday from Forest Heights in beautiful Athens, Georgia.💚🦌

How are y’all doing? I’m about to hit up Middle Tennessee to see a “castle,” some waterfalls, the ET Wickham sculptures (what’s left of them), and a grave for a horse. 🥀🪦🐴

This week on the blog: Where else can you drive through a shipping container gallery of snakes, skeletons, folk art, and country song marquees? Folk artist, Butch Anthony has captured so much of what I love about the South in his Museum of Wonder Drive-Thru. If you’re heading to the museum from Athens or Atlanta AND you’re interested in unusual graves, you should stop by the dollhouse grave of Nadine Earles.

Link Love 🖤

• The Northern Lights were somewhat visible in Georgia AGAIN (and again I missed it 🤡)

• Athens, GA’s annual costumed dog parade Boo-le-Bark is 10/20 and this year’s theme is Road Trip! 🐶

• Nagoro, the Japanese village of handmade, life-size dolls 🎎

• Let’s road trip to these abandoned towns across the U.S. Anyone been to Cahawba, Alabama? 🏚️

• A recently unearthed Peruvian throne room 👑

Lastly, if you have a favorite pumpkin patch or orchard, please hook me up! I’ve been in a creative slump but I gotta rally for jack-o-lantern season. 🎃

Thanks for reading and take care!
