If I was in seclusion with my S.O. for an anniversary, I would say "I do my BEST work in the DARK, baaaybeee!" :lolsmash:We headed up to the mountains for our anniversary, and the power got knocked out in a storm. DW is learning what to w/o t.v. And to do it by lamplight! Great opportunity to justify more lamp oil for my "useless" lamps!

Helen? Unicoi? Met my DH 44 years ago when we were at Truett-McConnell. We have a small place right outside of Helen. Small World.Mother Nature is a great teacher.
Whereabouts did y'all go? My wife and I are headed a little north of Cleveland next Thursday morning for vacation.

You have to stop at Smitty's(....Smith's Soda Shop), right outside of Cleveland on the Cleveland Hwy (kinda behind Ingels grocery). Hamburger, slaw dog and fries!!! Good price too.I love going to Helen, GA....especially for Oktoberfest!![]()
Actually it's about halfway in between Helen and Cleveland- Mountain Lakes on 75Alt . And I took my wife on her very first camping trip to Vogel State Park almost 31 years ago. :2thumb: We were members at Yonah Mountain Campground from '89 to '07, then joined Mountain Lakes.Helen?

Smitty's looks closed, is it still open? A couple of our favorite places to eat are Deer Lodge outside Hiawassee and N. Georgia BBQ in Helen. :beercheer:
This is beginning to sound like old home week! We are off of Alt 75! ...... guess we had better take this to a PM, kinda off the subject here.
A little north of Cleveland?:scratch must be Lake Erie.Mother Nature is a great teacher.

Sounds like you have an excellent start on a BOL. :2thumb: I hope to find a similar place soon or some land to build a cabin on. We've already picked out a cabin plan if we do decide to build.My folks just bought a place nearby to where we stayed, so I hope to be going up there to check out the situation (we've already scoped out the neighborhood, so to speak). It's already "country" decor based on photos I've seen, so adding a few oil lamps and a "decorative" 12 gauge over the fireplace should be easy. The tricky part will be convincing my dad to let me have a corner of his shop for "camping gear" because we're out of room at our house. The cabin has a couple of working wood fireplaces, so heat/cooking is covered, it has propane tanks, so stove cooking/hot water is covered, there's a spring-fed creek nearby, so water is covered, now to get a small solar pump set up to pressurize the water from the cistern and we're alot closer to a BOL. In all reality, I think that's why he bought the place, even if he would never voice that opinion. I just need to nudge him in the right direction!
We bought our bus in Cleveland Ga..Sounds like you have an excellent start on a BOL. :2thumb: I hope to find a similar place soon or some land to build a cabin on. We've already picked out a cabin plan if we do decide to build.

I believe the world is truly getting smaller every day.We bought our bus in Cleveland Ga..
What?At least she's thinking along the right lines. :congrat: As far as summer storms...
We rode around a little up there keeping an eye peeled for property. A little bit north of Helen (Robertstown) on Ga. 75 was a considerable amount of storm damage. We rode over to Lake Burton at Mocassin Creek State Park and could not believe the devastation.
