Brasstown and Blairsville

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.
