Hiawassee # 3

We've had a relaxing time visiting with friends and seeing the sights,  This RV park is definitely on our list to visit again.

On Tuesday, the campground hosted a fish fry for us.  We all brought side dishes and had a wonderful meal.  Before I could get a picture of the fish, the vultures descended upon it.   Here is what was left after the first go around.   Those are hush puppies in the rear. 

There were plenty of side dishes to go with the fish.

We recognized Scott for all his efforts getting the Montana Rovers Forum up and running.  We are over 420 members strong in eight months and growing.  

We let him know that he's "Da Bomb"  

Vicki Allen gave Scott a couple of presents from her, hemorrhoid cream and migraine relief tablets.  She e-mails him a lot so this was her way to say thanks for all the help.  

He also got a gift bag of road food for travelling.

Several of us went to Brasstown Bald, This is the highest mountain in the state of Georgia.  It rises 4784 feet above sea level.  It lays claim to having the most inspiring vistas in the state.  You can see North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and on a clear day, the Atlanta skyline.  It was a bit hazy the day we went but the view was spectacular.

This is the visitor center with the ranger station tower on top.  From here, they can look for fires.

This is the road from the parking lot to the summit.  You can take a shuttle or hike 6/10 of a mile to the top.

Vickie visited Anna Ruby Falls. It's near Unicoi State Park near Helen, Georgia.  It is two streams that join to form Smith Creek. You need to hike up 4/10 of a mile to the falls.

 

On our last night. we had an ice cream social with home made ice cream.  First, we all signed a thank you card for Vicki for organizing the rally.

Then our ice cream social hosts, Brian and Kathy Adams told us about the flavors we were about to taste.

We all left on Thursday as the campground was being taken over by itty bitty campers.  They reserved all but six sites in the campground.

We stopped for the night in Clemmons, North Carolina at Tanglewood County Park.  Home tomorrow.
