First Season:  Georgia On My Mind

101 Ghost Hunting
Have you ever seen a ghost?  No?  Well, the south is the perfect place to look for ghosts, and maybe even catch a glimpse of an apparition or two. Two Lane Traveller is going to hit the road in search of the paranormal starting in Georgia’s ghost capital, Savannah.   We’ll join a ghost tour of the city and search for the infamous pirate, Blackbeard and host Robin Russell spends the night in a haunted inn. Eventually Two Lane Traveller finds its way to Georgia’s mysterious guide stones, which some have called the country’s Stonehenge.
   
102 Rural Museums & Roadside Oddities
Museums, one of our most valuable cultural resources, are generally linked to big cities and towns.  But as you will learn on this fun and educational episode of Two Lane Traveller, some of the most unusual and special museums are actually part of the country’s rural landscape. Join in as Two Lane Traveller searches out just a few of the interesting and odd little museums found along two-lane highways.  We’re going to introduce you to the men, women and probably a character or two, who started these museums from scratch.  Why?  Tune in and find out!
