Seven year old Cody Lee of Waynesboro, Ga., sits behind the wheel of the General Lee at the Summer Redneck Games on Saturday, July 10, 2010 in East Dublin, Ga.
So i took a chance and took - as Corrie Perrine said - a photo pilgrimage to see the Redneck Games as held in East Dublin, Ga.
The mud was exactly as advertised. Met a bunch of cool photographers, took a bunch of cool photos. Had a lot of fun. Swam in a river.
More photos and witty commentary after the jump
