Here’s the back story behind Gary. If you drive to O’Connor’s, you’ll see a guard rail…it may be all mangled or curved with no dents!  Gary guards the ditch so trucks won’t fall down into the ditch!  Gary is that he is on the corner of Trenton and Tylertown Road in Clarksville.  Gary, the unluckiest guard rail, keeps getting hit by Semis taking the turn too tight, or maybe the lane isn’t wide enough.  Gary’s Facebook page is a laugh and a half! Give Gary a follow HERE, send him some good vibes and a little hope he doesn’t get another boo boo.

Just be careful and watch out for Gary!
