Hoke's trip back to his roots,
MEEKS Georgia USA
When Hoke returns to his birth place in Meeks, Georgia
The Welcome committee turns out to greet him.
Hokes journey back home to Meeks begin at
these Celtic Lions standing guard on their owners property
.
Hoke finds a reminder of his young day
an old 57 Ford Fairland that in it's prim cursed the street of Meeks
Take a right at this intersection to
get to Hoke's old home place.
When Mr. Jackson, a prominent citizen of Meeks, was told
they were going to name a street after him he said,
"I don't give a Flip." and here it is
.
Hoke remembers when this old well was open and was at the
back porch of the house he was born and raised in as a young
boy. It had a bucket tied on the end of a long rope and with a
hand crank rig they would lower the bucket down into the well
and get the water that his family used for drinking, cooking and
cleaning, etc. The house stood just in the field of goldenrods
to the left of the well (below).
