In Georgia they call them “mountains”. I like to call them “big blue boobies” because from a distance, that’s what they favor. I suspect this is what originally drew men in, not promises of gold.
Near Alpine Helen, at the foothills of the N GA mountains and 90 miles north of Atlanta, you can get a sample of what the boobs are really made of in Unicoi State Park or in the neighboring attraction of Anna Ruby Falls where trees are so bad ass – they grow out of rocks.
Back in town, you can sample the flavors of a town that’s known far and wide for it’s Bavarian flair. Do I drink beer? Nope, but today is a good day to try. Especially when I have a DD and there’s a variety of sausages involved, it seems criminal not to. Yeah, c’mon.
In north Georgia, the horses come with their own poop catchers, the nuts are nuts, the grist mill that has been there 150 years is still operating (no chit, didn’t I see that four at Whole Foods? Yes, I did) the jaw breakers are as big as your head and the air is so clean your body barely knows what to do with it. Note to self: next visit –> the winery.
They may not be my mountains, but they’ll do. How much longer ’till I can retire? This working shit is for the birds.

Is that a “Wendys” sign on the top pic? Those sausages and ‘kraut look mighty tasty! Anyone that sticks a 1# jawbreaker in their mouth has some issues! If you find a way to survive without this working shit, lemme know. Hope this weekend is just as nice as last!

I had a great comment about beer, brats, balls and giant horses…..didn’t sound so good when I read it again. Enjoy the blue boobies.
Wow. I just can’t keep it clean today
