| 1 - Hambidge Center, Rabun Co. (2023) While searching (unsuccessfully) for some rock piles that I had been told about, I came across this mirror installation. Click here for more information. |
|
 |
|
| Phalanx by Gregor Turk Some of the mirrors have come apart. I thought it was probably due to the weather, but when I talked to the grounds-manager, he said some of the damage was from bears. |

| 6 - Log Cabin in Plumorchard area (2017) I've heard this referred to as Zeke's cabin. Raymond Addis used to own it. |
