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!
103 The Circus Show
Many of us have dreamed of running
away and joining the circus. In this episode of TWO LANE TRAVELLER
we’ll make that dream comes true. Come along as our host goes
through clown school and performs as a "clown for the day" in
RinglingBrothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus. Get a first hand look
behind the scenes at how the Bengal tigers and elephants are cared for
and trained. Learn the history of the circus and what a juggle it
is to make it all happen. We’ll take you straight into three-ring
fun!
104 Little St. Simon’s Island
Filled to capacity with only 30
guests, the Inn on Little St. Simons Island is a vacation paradise
offering no televisions, no phones or fax machines. Guests will
find plenty of gourmet cuisine, elegant accommodations, and a staff
ready to take care of their every need! Along the Southeastern
Seaboard exists some of the most pristine coastline found in our
country today. Two Lane Traveller is going to explore these
coasts starting with Georgia’s coast in the autumn -- a wonderful
“off-season” time to visit

ever-evolving fascination, Americans have a romance with trains.

train museum built to scale around a replicated German city
located. And while attending school with Robin, viewers get to

bridges were plentiful and commonplace . Now there are very few left.
In this episode of Two Lane Traveller, we visit some these beautiful
structures, meet some the people who have championed the effort to
restore and save them, and learn why there survival is in itself a
bridge between our past and our future.

that automobile travel began, in the 1930s, when traveling
cross-country in a brand new Chevrolet was all the rage. Rock
City’s legendary campaign of painting “See Rock City” on the sides of
barns along every major highway leading South made the new attraction a
