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 |
| Peace is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free. True peace with ourselves and with the world around us can only be achieved through the development of mental peace. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, July 1, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
