Welcome to Barneyville!

On our way back from Sanibel, we passed through what I’m certain is the meth capital of south Georgia.  I’m referring, of course, to Barneyville.  In the latter half of 2006 we drove down to Sanibel with our young twinkles, and had to stop here in Barneyville at about 7pm to feed the kids.  We stopped here, as it’s in the middle of nowhere and the kids where hungry and not going to wait another minute or mile.  We chose a Ramada Inn to park and pursue milk ingestion.  It didn’t turn out to be a Ramada, it was something else.  If I remember correctly, it was the Relax Inn.  Across the street, there was a disused service station that apparently serviced only drug traffic.  I saw a car parked outside the facility, with no lights on and the engine running.  Several times, different cars would drive up, exchange a flash of their lights, park aside the “dealer” for a few moments, and then drive off.  I can only assume what was going on was not a simple transaction for exchanging directions.  Anyway, if you are passing down I-75 in mid-south Georgia and have to stop – don’t do it in Barneyville.
