Today’s adventure took me to Bynum, North Carolina. I took the scenic route there and drove by Jordan Lake. It was a nice sunny day and the trees were blooming. It was a little chilly out which made a nice day for a drive. I saw many bicyclers today is swams. They were everywhere. I took a few back roads and made it to Bynum. As I entered the town, I saw the first critter followed by a sign that read “Critter Country.” I drove through the town and saw critters at more than half of the houses. These critters are chainsaw creations made of logs. The critters looked like dogs, reindeer, giraffes, pigs, and other critters. I want one! They are really neat! I drove through the village in less than two minutes (it’s a small village). I didn’t see where the critters were made though. So I turned around and drove back through town again. I pulled over as I left town, looked at my Gazetteer and decided to start trying these little side roads that looked more like driveways. On the second try I found it, the place that made the critters. This place had gobs of critters that were all shapes and sizes. My favorite has to be the one titled "The North Pole is Melting so Santa Done Got Himself a New Canoe." I just love the southern Santa lingo. A sign out front said that on April 17th there is a critter show at the ball park in town. Yes Bynum has a ball park and a convenience store. I continued down the road and saw critters at all of the houses on this street. Then I turned around and drove past again. What a neat talent this guy has for creating critters. I finished the day off with a walk around a pond with my friend L.
