eBay PT 40 - Anyone familiar?

[Howard O. Truitt]

Hank,
Don't know your route south but I live just off US Hwy 19 abt. 2 miles South of
Camilla, Ga. We are abt. 50 miles south west of Tifton, Ga.. I have a nice place
for visitors to park only water available. I would certainly recommend you
consider a stop in Thomasville, Ga. 30 miles south of me. Check out Thomasville
on the web. Many old Victorian homes very quaint downtown section with old
original brick paved streets famous Pebble Hill Plantation open for tours. There
is a very nice camp ground just north of town on Hwy 19 with all aminities named
Sugar Mill Campground.
