Up in the mountains

 I love the Piedmont, but we’ve just started exploring the mountains of northern Georgia. The Appalachian Trail wasn’t far from the cabin where we stayed in Sautee Nacoochee. The nearest town is Helen.

We went into town to eat, and we watched people ride innertubes down the Chattahoochee River for a bit. But the real scenery was in the woods.

And the stars at night are big and bright, just as they are in Texas.

If you’re looking for a reason to come to Georgia, Anna Ruby Falls would be sufficient for me. It’s the confluence of two creeks — Smith and York — and some of the mingling occurs on rock and some in air.

If you love nature, you’d enjoy the place.
