Man Made of Old Mufflers

Still not there. Looks like there is officially nothing to see in Valdosta.

Man Made of Old Mufflers

There was absolutely nothing at exit 22 -- we went up to 3 miles east of I75. The Hobby Lobby is about 1 mile east of I-75 at exit 18. But we checked everything within a two mile radius -- and nothing. I think this muffler man disappeared. Sorry.

Ah, the transitory nature of car part sculptures -- always on the move, falling apart, or being cannibalized. And that tip was 11 years old!

There is a man made of old mufflers in Valdosta. Take I-75 to exit 22 and head east. About 1 mile on the left across from the [Hobby Lobby and Tractor Supply] is a muffler shop and out front is a giant man made of old mufflers.
