Unicoi Trip – Day 2

18 December 2017

I awoke at 5 am and tried to get back to sleep but gave up at 5:30. I rolled out of Tifton around 8 am and set the GPS to avoid expressways. Boy, did it ever.  It routed me through highways 11, 129, and 23 until I arrived in the Bavarian village of Helen, Georgia, circa 1968. The morning was fogged in and I didn’t see sunlight until around noon.

In 1968, the town businessmen decided a make over was needed and an artist at a nearby town remembered his stay in Bavaria just after WWII and pitched them on the idea.  It looks remarkably as you would think a Bavarian Village to look like (since I’ve never been to Bavaria).

I checked in at the lodge at Unicoi State Park,  and Groupon, true to form, did not warn you about unmentioned fees.  I added $42 to the amount I already paid – tacked on by the lodge.  In any case, the room is serviceable.  It was freezing cold when I walked in and I quickly jacked up the temperature.

After unloading everything to the room, I headed out to Helen to tour Bavaria.  Key West and Duvall is a piker compared to Helen.  Tee shirts, jewelry stores, restaurants and pubs galore. I made a quick tour of downtown and headed back to the park.

I checked out the zip line adventures in the park and scheduled a Thursday experience when the kid asked me how many were participating. I said one.  Wrong answer.  They require a minimum of two.  If anyone wants to join me, come to Unicoi State Park on Thursday for zip lining.  He took my phone number and will call me in case anyone else signs up.

I need to decide what hikes to do tomorrow.  There is a 9.2 mile round trip, 6 hour hike to Anna Ruby Falls starting in the park.  However, I could simply drive to the falls, pay a $3 admission fee and walk 0.8 mile round trip.

They have a brochure of local waterfalls in the area and I may try to complete the tour of all six.

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
