[QUOTE="talien, post: 4890004, member: 3285"] [b]Future/Perfect: Part 1 – Guide to the Guidestones[/b] The route headed west, then turned north on Highway 77, towards Elbert County. Small signs beside the highway indicated the turnoff for the Guidestones, which was identified by a street sign as "Guidestones Rd." The dirt road bounced through bend after bend of cool brush lands. A recent rainfall made the going slippery. As the car rounded another thicket, a locked wooden gate blocked the road. A wooden house was nearby. No one was visible inside, though smoke rose from the chimney of the small wooden house. There was swamp about a hundred yards to the left and right of the house, flanked by palmetto and even prickly-pear cactus on sandy hummocks. The road continued beyond the gate, disappearing into trees several hundred yards beyond. A sign read “Double 7 Farms.” A black man in overalls came out of the house and waved at the car. “Hello!” he called. “What you fellas want?” "You the owner of this farm?" asked Hammer. "I am," said the older man. "Name's Wayne. Wayne Mullenix. And you are?" "Agent Hammer," he flashed his badge. "We're here to visit the Georgia Guidestones." "'Course, 'course!" He wiped his forehead with his hat. "One day some lawyers appeared and offered me $1,500 for five acres of ground,” said Wayne. “They said that someone wanted to put up a marker commemorating his great-grandfather, who died hereabouts more than a hundred years ago. So I said: How big? And the answer: Pretty big, only you can plow around it. Well that sounded fine to me, so I worked ‘em up to $5,000. Yep, $5,000 dollars!
