It's 1.88 miles from your dead tree to the tower.
the one with a come along hanging off it? After new years I an getting serious about taking my chain saw to it.
Yeah that one, next to the convenience store facing '80.
stop and puke...
I think I would really like Hickory...
I am used to Hickory and it is used to me... Last time I looked for somewhere else to live, every single place i looked into was way more expensive than here.
Now that I have decent cell service, there is one less reason to relocate.
Are those groves around you fruit or nuts?
Pecans?
I don't know of any local groves, the popular trees to farm around here are pine for pulp wood... so lots of pine trees around planted in rows of straight lines.
I was thinking my cell tower was over by the exit... it looks like it is well east of that exit so a much closer straight shot to my house as the crow flies... that also means my outdoor antenna (Yagi) may be pointed slightly west, but not much.

I have some extra history about "old Highway 80" as it's known around here. After 9/11 some employees of United airlines organized a flag carrying event by runners to trace the intended route of one of the downed planes. By this time I was available and my knee still worked, so I volunteered to carry old glory for several miles from Hickory to the next town over (Newton).
The relay run was over-subscribed so I ran with one or two other runners, I let them take turns carrying the flag, but I was the alpha dog for my leg.
This is a little (almost) forgotten piece of Old Hwy 80 history... 80 runs parallel to I-20 but is much safer to run.
