Fall is in the air

I just finished a 5-day stay at Enota Mountain Retreat in Blairsville, Georgia and the fall colors are moderate to good. Just before we arrived a rain storm passed through, followed by fairly high winds (gusts to 30 mph). This blew a lot of the early fall color off the trees. The good news is that only about half the trees had begun to change at 2000-3000 feet, so there is still plenty of leaf change to see. Below 2000 feet it seems the fall will run a little later than normal with the best weekend probably being the last weekend of the month for the northern counties and the first week of Atlanta for counties closer to Atlanta.



We stopped by Cucina Rustica in Morganton for some of the best Italian food in the Southeast United States this past Thursday. This restaurant has become a standard on our trips to North Georgia. It will be a feature in an upcoming issue of About North Georgia.

We also visited some of the lesser known CCC works in the North Georgia mountains and plan to continue this journey in the near future.
