Cherokee, NC - Right outside Great Smokey National Park for a week!

 Short but scenic drive from Hiawassee, Ga to the popular National Park. Arriving on Memorial Day, we expect the park to be busy but weather is great. Crisp, sunny cool weather. joining us in the KOA campground is one of Johns’ old childhood neighbor chums. Having grew up together since before they started school, they played in the woods behind their houses and now, camping together after all these years!

Waterfall Hikes in our National Forests today!

 

 Another day of gorgeous scenery, and lots of other families out enjoying the outdoors in NE Georgia.

Enjoyed another fish dinner from our catch mid week as well!

Early morning Fishing on Lake Chatuge, Hiawassee, Georgia

 Got up before the sun and left the dock at 5:30am. Marvelous sunrise, mist covered water and mountains and oh yes, fish. Perch, Hybrid Bass ( white bass and strippers) and Spotted bass. Guess what’s for dinner?

Mountains, Mountains and More - Northeast Georgia

 We arrived at the Mountain View Campground yesterday and are spending a week here, enjoying all the area has to offer. The views are amazing, the campground is very nice and we are quite happy exploring new places. Today we drove through the closest town of Hiawassee and then ventured up to the Brasstown Resort and Spa and Golf course ( john made a tee time for Thursday! ) Then we drove over to the highest spot in Georgia, called Brasstown Bald National Forest observation tower.  After a short but steep climb we enjoyed amazing vistas! Weather is warm and surroundings are wonderful.
