Toccoa Falls, GA

 I wasn't planning to blog this trip. It's a lot of work curating pictures every day and uploading them. But I keep thinking how much Claudia (Mom Hardy) would enjoy seeing what we are up to. So...

We stopped in Indy to see my 100-year-old dad on the way south. We also had lunch and tea with other friends. I love those friendships that have lasted decades.

Friday was drive-to-Georgia day. Drove out of rain, but mostly a pleasant day. I finished one knit hat and started another.

Saturday it rained in the morning, but stopped about ten, and we got organized to go to Toccoa Falls. The waterfall that names the town is located behind the Toccoa Falls College. There is a small fee, but well worth it.

Pleasant half-mile walk to the falls.

They were still taking pictures from a morning wedding when we were allowed in a noon. What a setting for a wedding!

There were picnic tables near a small lake (and college student volleyball game), but Steve noticed this table behind a historic hydro-electric building which had serviced the college maybe 80 years ago.

He hadn't noticed the small waterfall behind the picnic table until we were carrying our picnic basket toward it. Delightful spot to eat our cheese and crackers and hardboiled eggs.


After lunch we headed to another waterfall. Not nearly as impressive, but a nice small town park with lots of people enjoying the lovely day.

We came back to the hotel and soaked in the hot tub while we did a load of laundry.

Out to dinner to Hawg House, a fabulous BBQ/Catfish house in nearby Clarksville. I had the catfish, which melted in my mouth. Steve had a half rack of ribs. He shared some with me, and it was oh, so good too. We had missed the BBQ recommended by the hotel, but have NO regrets.

Tomorrow is Sunday, and we are going to north Atlanta to attend church with some more long-time friends and have lunch with them.
