EXPLORERS Thomasville, Georgia, and the surrounding Red Hills region is a small speck on the globe but a very special part of the world. It’s a place where you can still find dirt roads and the land is as it has always been. The patrons of this countryside go to great lengths to preserve the wild quail habitat and the genteel lifestyle and traditions of the past. The pageantry of hunting on horseback and mule-drawn wagons, just as it was done 100 years ago, continues. I am always amazed at how well all the moving parts involved in a hunt (dogs, horses, tack, trailers, etc.) are seamlessly managed. And we with our old trucks are not much different from the handler with 30 dogs in the kennel to train and nine horses in pasture to maintain. It takes a lot of time, effort and, most important, experience to keep them running well. Pairing these vintage vehicles and this ancient land makes one feel nostalgic and provides a sense of relief that a place like this still exists. At the end of the ride, we find ourselves in the shadow of a beautiful historic plantation home, sipping Bloody Marys and mimosas on our tailgates and discussing football, hunting and who broke down. There is always one in the group and no judgment passed. We’ve all broken down at one time or the other; it’s just the way it is. And if I’m going to break down, I can’t think of a better place to do it than the red-clay dirt roads and piney woods of Thomasville and the Red Hills region, in my Rover. 20
