The South is a lot of things. It is diverse, beautiful, brutal, and kind. But, there are moments where you can see with clear eyes the inherent utopia in the Southern way. It is there. One of those moments happened this week at a Memorial Day gathering of old friends at a farm on a mountain outside of Guntersville, a beautiful place, God’s country. My wife and I were on the last leg of our overlanding trip across the state and I found what I’d always been looking for, which, as it usually is, was right in front of me.
