Continuing from the church driveway, the road descends slightly on
the way to the Wheat Community Monument, which is about a half mile
away.
Around the corner, past the kudzu and high voltage transmission
lines, the monument comes into view at the end of the road.
The
monument stands in a grassy clearing next to woods on one side and
power lines on the other side.
There is a nice rock wall along the front of the clearing. The wall
is about three feet high, and the monument stands about seven feet
tall.
From behind the monument - The site overlooks a highway interchange
at the intersection of Highway 58 and Highway 95. A chain link
fence stands between the monument site and the road.

| Quote of the moment |
| I would have nobody to control me; I would be absolute: and who but I? Now, he that is absolute can do what he likes; he that can do what he likes can take his pleasure; he that can take his pleasure can be content; and he that can be content has no more to desire. So the matter 's over; and come what will come, I am satisfied. |
| ~ Cervantes, Don Quixote. Part i. Book iv. Chap. xxiii. ~ |
