Greetings! Some years ago, Shannan,
Joel and I went to Brasstown Bald, Georgia’s highest peak, for one our day
trips. It rained that day. We were prepared to make the hike regardless of the
weather. Unfortunately, we learned the mountain trail doesn’t open in heavy
rain. We were upset, but it didn’t dampen our day. We drove across the border
into North Carolina and did some exploring.
Last weekend, Shannan and I made
our way back to Brasstown Bald. The trip was worth the wait. We so enjoyed the
mountain path and the views from the top were spectacular. Rather than a day
trip we spent the weekend in Blairsville, GA. What a treat it was. I had a
fantastic morning run Saturday morning. I spun around the Blairsville town
square and jogged through a few neighborhoods. The roads were quiet and the
morning sky was filled with stars not visible in the metropolitan area.
Over the weekend, we spent time in
Blue Ridge, saw a play at the Blue Ridge Community Theater, went to the Sorghum
Festival, picnicked at Cupid Falls on the Young Harris Campus, had a tour at
Crane Creek Vineyard, stopped in Pappy’s Trading Post, picked apples at Mercier
Orchards and our last stop was Expedition: BIGFOOT, The Sasquatch Museum. Fun!
Climb Mountains. Run.
Tom
