Georgia Mountain Drive Pictures

[gastephens]

Thanks to Zac for organizing a drive for us. The weather was a bit sketchy but we had a good time.

6 cars, 6 drivers and 3 small passengers met up in the old mining town of Dahlonega in the North Georgia Mountains. The grey skies turned to mist and then to light rain as we crossed the Appalachian Trail on Blood Mountain. As we ascended to the 4500 foot summit of Brasstown Bald we entered a cloud bank and the rain became cold and steady. We did not linger to admire the view.

On to the genuine artificial Alpine town of Helen for some warmth, refreshment, and storytelling. Then home to roast my toes by the fire and watch some college football.

Looks like fun. The shot at Brasstown Bald could be a spring day at the Oregon coast:)

Ummm Glenn, I happen to know that you were alone in your car. How did you get that great shot of John 2-wheeling around a corner? In fact there are quite a few "moving" shots here. Trying to do the North GA embankment slide again?

My camera has an auto-shot feature. Yeah, that's it.

Likely story.
