Why Pearson? She grew up there, and had only married and moved to the farm a few years before.

We haven’t done one of these in a while: a video drive-through
of a canopy road of south Georgia.
This one is Beatty Mill Creek Road in northeast
Lowndes County. So far northeast its mailing address is Ray City.
