You guys take the best trips ... just outstanding.

Looking at the map, it appears that you will be taking 441 from Gatlinburg until you hit I-85 into Atlanta and therefore going through Rabun County, GA (Dillard, Clayton, etc.). A couple of recommendations (i.e. great views/photo ops) for you -- just after you pass Rabun Gap, watch for a turn off to the right to the Black Rock Mtn State Park. Spectacular vista for a $5.00 parking fee. Save the parking pass and use it to visit Tallulah Gorge State Park - again, incredible views, interesting museum (don't miss the 20 min. film). If you hit Clayton at noon, take a right into the downtown area and check out Universal Joint for great burgers/brew.

Any idea what day you will be passing through? I need to drive up & check on our mountain house but with multiple rehearsals & 3 performances scheduled over the next 7-8 days I likely won't be able to meet you there, but you never know - it might work out.

Will you be in Atlanta for several days? If so, PM or email me for suggestions of places to see.
