Day #38 of Our Epic Trip

12-9-2023
Southern Trails RV Resort, Unadilla, Georgia

We went to Macon, GA today to do some exploring. We stopped at Smiley’s Flea Market and found some deals including two metal hangers for free (for Daniel’s MacGyver activities), $2 earrings, and… a slice of cake at an all vegan bakery. So excited to find the wonderful ladies of Sweet Rain Vegan Bakeshop who make wonderful goodies. We got a slice of Butter Pecan cake. It was so good.

Next we went to visit the Ocmulgee Mounds and Earth Lodge. These Indian mounds were the site of the largest archeological dig in the US to date. Carbon dating of wooden beams in the lodge date to 1015.

We drove around downtown Macon but didn’t stop. We went a spot recently added to Google maps called “Vegan Soul” hopeful we would find a vegan soul food restaurant. We did not find a restaurant but did find a farmer’s market and a nice man from Oak Ridge, TN who sold beautiful clay pots for plants.

Two vegans and two vegan dogs traveling the country in a camper pulled by a Tesla. We love being frugal, cooking from scratch, exploring, hiking, and meeting fellow vegans.
