Apr 18, 2013 - North Georgia Mountains

We're taking a slightly circuitous route to get to the Blue ridge area of North Carolina by heading back into Georgia. The reason for backtracking a little was to stop at the Georgia Guidestones near Elberton. Since we were in the area, we're also going to visit the Currahee Military Museum in Toccoa, GA which commemorates Army Airborne training at Camp Toccoa, before WWII. It was made famous in the movie "Band of Brothers". On the way to the Guidestones we crossed back into Georgia over the Savannah River where it is impounded to form the...
