Thanks to Wild Green Future for the generous grant that bought both outboards, as well as an 86lb thrust trolling motor, two LiFeO2 batteries, and some related materials.

After testing for fuel flow in several locations, Phil disassembled the fuel pump and reassembled it and it works fine now. Continue reading →

Franklinville Monument, Landing, Road, Tyler Bridge, Withlacoochee River, Toms Branch 2021-02-06

WWALS President Tom H. Johnson Jr. wanted to see the world-famous Franklinville Monument. Well, famous to those who know Franklinville was the county seat of Lowndes County, Georgia, before Troupville, before Valdosta.

We proceeded east on Franklinville Road to Tyler Bridge over the Withlacoochee River, looked from there at Franklinville Landing on the right (west) bank, and also looked at where Tom’s Branch crosses the road and enters the river.
