The Northern Georgia Mountains Sept 25-Oct 2

We’ve waited along time to be able to trade into north Georgia. Petit Crest Villas at Big Canoe were available through RCI, so I grabbed the week. Big Canoe is a large residential development with many beautiful homes in the mountains. Petit Crest is one of two timeshare developments there, and it is 3 ½ miles into the development on a 2-lane narrow windy hilly road and the units are VERY steep to drive to .. or walk to, also. The unit was very nice and we were up in the woods, but the weather was unseasonably cool and rainy. Please see photos at

But we do not want to go there again – the long curvy drive to the unit and it was very expensive, too, to go swimming at the fitness center – so we didn’t!

We did, though, get to visit with Ron’s brother Merlyn and his wife Marsha and also their daughter and son-on-law in Cartersville, even getting to go to their baby shower.

Then, we also saw TUGGER friends Carol C and her husband and went over toward Helen with them. We were able to visit with J.R. Huddlestun, Ron’s pastor from Junction City KS days, and his daughter and son.

On the day we left, we visited Amicolola Falls, the state park there at the southern point of the Appalachian Trail. The Falls were beautiful. We went ate at the lodge there while overlooking the beautiful BLUE mountains.

Yes, the mountains are REALLY blue!
