    I live in Preston, which is 20 miles West of Americus. My girlfriend just started Southern this semester. She is from Lumpkin, which is not far from Columbus which is where shes moving to in December. She loves Southern, just hates being away from home (and from me, she says ). We both have some friends that go there though.

    I'll be in Statesboro this weekend and next weekend. Its about 3 hours from here.

    I'd like to know how to get there from where you are b/c tomorrow I'm leaving from Americus to go and I'm thinking Vidalia might be faster to get to I-16 than going through Montezuma, Hawkinsville, and Cochran.

    Well I take hwy. 292 to cobbtown and than I get on I-16 at the Metter/ Cobbtown exit and shoot down to Statesboro exit. Hey when yall go there yall need to go party at Legends, I'm sure your girlfriend has heard or already been there. That place is a blast on the weekends.

    We went there a few weeks ago and saw Laney Strickland band, who is one of my favorites. The crowd was really small and it kinda was dissapointing b/c they stopped playing after about 2 hours. But...I did have some good luck that night, I bought a $6 crown/coke, handed the bar chick a $10, and got $14 back!

    There aren't any tracks down that way are there?

    Greg, We used to have our own gas station at the plant and the operators would blend 93 or higher octane gas into the 87 pump.

    If you get gas from a BP/Amoco station that looks clear like water, that's our Ultimate 93 octane. Used to be good gas until they took it away from us.
