You guys have thelocation right. It's the Gafney Peach in Gafney, South Carolina. It's about 40 minutes from Charlotte on I85. Before it got its newer paint job it looked pretty sad for a long time.

"A common sight across the Georgia countryside are peach silos; usually located in large fields they are not easily spotted until the Fall when, after harvest, the peach bushes are mowed back to ground level in preparation for next year's crop."*

*extracted from the 2007 edition of the De Kalb County Visitors' Guide

What DrLogik, with his military background, isn't revealing to us is that many of these silos are actually camouflaged ICBM sites, as are...

Somewhere in Georgia, on I-85. I always think, "Eat a Peach"...

Life is an open book test, you can always "Look it up", but you get more points for just knowin'...

Ok, pretty funny using the Net to find the first one. How about this? What is it (don't be crude) and where is it? I had to doctor it up a bit because it had some lettering on it.

No fair using the Internet.........

SpruceG,
You didn't say we had to have been there! "Clean the forum?." Now that would be an interesting task that sometimes is a full-time job for multiple moderators. Cleaning reels and lines is more manageable.

Charles, using the internet to answering your quiz is cheating. You will remain after school and clean the forum.

As a sort of geographer I thought it would be good to have a little pop quiz for the end of the week.

What city is the building in my avatar located in? (A certain board member and rod builder need not reply.)
