These are from a [tour across the deep south in 2021](https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/postjab/). My impression is that not many people do bicycle touring in these mostly-forgotten rural places in Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.
The route was mostly very quiet paved country roads, although I also did some dirt.

I live in Georgia but seldom think of it as a particularly beautiful place. These pics might help me adjust my opinion.

I have never been to Georgia and am not American, but these pictures made me think of an old kingdom in decline. The government hasn’t turned its attention towards this place in decades and everything is falling apart.
All I am saying is that’s the lore that came up to mind while looking at these pictures.

I did something similar in 2021 as well, and cycled from my home in Georgia around the NW part of the state. One thing you’ll find are chapels everywhere. You could be riding with nothing around and the first thing you pass is…a chapel…in the middle of nowhere. I called it the “Backyard” tour because it was 4 days in my backyard when we couldn’t really travel because of COVID. [https://youtu.be/m_sMBHgkK-c](https://youtu.be/m_sMBHgkK-c)

The US State of Georgia, not the country 😉
