Beautiful sunset ends the day.
Family just hanging out at the Belhaven town center. Of course we knew them.
Right outside of Fertile Ground was a pizza of food truck that made awesome pizza. I took home two.
Now we're replenishing all the calories we burned so to be sure as to maintain the fat around our bellies.
What a perfect place to end. Fertile Ground brewery. This Belhaven brewery is so so cool.
City Hall is one of our last holes.
Cool downtown bakery. Who would believe it?
Beautiful sycamore tree surrounded by human trash. A perfect example of God's perfection and human sin spoiling it.
The Capital Police are everywhere these days downtown which gives us a feeling of safety. In our case, word had gone out over the police radio that a band of crazed frisbee throwers were on the loose. We got accosted by this policeman. However after a little bit of explaining, he was as nice as he could be. Funny how rumors get started. I guess it gets pretty boring being a member of the Capital Police. Downtown is pretty darn dead on the weekends. Your greatest danger is some aging disc hurlers.
Yet another hazard of frisbee golf: Car running over your frisbee. Sure enough this one got run over twice. We had one other frisbee get run over this day. We never know if the driver is intentionally running over the frisbee or if it's an accident.
Losing frisbees is a constant hazard. We can lose them down gutter drains, on roofs, behind gates and and up in trees. We were able to retrieve this one.
If you look carefully, you will see a frisbee stuck on the roof. It's been there for about 5 years.
Old train track to nowhere.
This was a gift from the French government to Jackson thanking us for our effort in World War II.
Cool murals at Martin's. Lots of Sunday afternoon day drinkers.
A nice water stop. Who doesn't like Hal & Mal's?
That's Moses at the top of the old County courthouse. It's kind of ironic that the Ten Commandments are in Roman numerals.
There are lots of cool things to look at downtown. In this case, it's a monument for all those who lost their lives in the world wars.
Another good hole from the Thalia Mara music hall platform over the fountain and hit the red statue.
Jeff good knows everybody in Jackson.
Ok.
Father and son, Jay and Campbell Cooke doing a little jig together. Warms the cockles of my heart.
Can't argue with that.
Who would have thought? Italian ice on an October day in downtown Jackson.
As it turned out, we encountered a Zen yoga wellness festival at the art museum downtown. It was quite interesting.
Like I said, there's just some weird stuff you see downtown.
Another fun hole. So many flagpoles, so little time.
At least a dozen really cool murals downtown. Often on the sides of buildings.
Daniel and a mural.
One fun thing about downtown frisbee golf is the chance to see some beautiful buildings downtown. One day perhaps our downtown will come back to life.
You see all sorts of interesting things downtown.
Apparently there's some fine liquor being drunk downtown. This was not us!
We encountered a homeless person on this particular hole. He never woke up.
This is a cool hole. You have to go down the hall and stay within the columns and then hit a post box on the other side.
This big beautiful downtown building, the Landmark building, is now empty. Such a waste.
Back to back to defending champion Shane Kellum got shut out from the finals this year. Ouch! He was a contender to win every nine holes but somehow managed to lose at the last second by a spoiler throw. (Mainly me.)
Jay Cooke telling us what to do. We let him think he's the alpha male.
As we played through the old Jackson high school building, now housing the Mississippi Department of Education, I couldn't help but notice a bunch of parking signs. Lots of administrators.
Eudora is the object of one hole. The frisbees are soft plastic and don't damage anything.
Around a corner, then hit the doors to the old bus station.
Weight limit on frisbees is 175 grams for this annual event. This is an illegal disc!
Now we're on the steps of our signature hole. From the top of the capitol stairs, throw down to hit the big liberty bell below. A two usual wins this hole.
You never know how the authorities are going to react to a bunch of old guys playing frisbee golf downtown. In this case the officer in charge at the capitol building let us pass right on through to the other side. Nice guy! Not all the police were so nice.
Jeff whacked me in the head with his frisbee and I feigned death. I them all going for a minute with my deft fake collapse. Dr Carlton checks me out.
Champion Jeff Good makes a good toss.
Discussing what the next hole will be.
Not many people downtown on a Sunday afternoon but those that are don't know what to make of this roving band of frisbee flingers.
Hitting the door is the goal on this one-par hole
Success!!
The ledge was too soft to put weight on.
Daniel Trussell retrieves a roofed frisbee. It's nice to see this tradition getting handed off to a new generation.
Jeff Good of Bravo fame was this year's champion, defeating finalists Wyatt Emmerich and Daniel Trussell.
