Helen (again) & Unicoi State Park

On Sunday (11/1) I wanted to drive to the Georgia mountains and check out some leaves before they are all gone. Unfortunately the rain from last week brought down a lot of them, but it was still pretty. The fun part was that Joe and I had all afternoon to drive up there and check things out, it was quite relaxing and definitely a needed change from our typical afternoon of TV watching :) You can check out the Picasa album for more photos.

I think this is Yonah Mountain. It looked nice, obviously I’m sticking my camera out the window, so I don’t really know at what angle the shot is going to be, so this is what you get.

To get to Unicoi State Park you have to drive straight through the main drag of Helen. It was the last day of Oktoberfest so it was a little crowded, but it was fun to see all the crazy people. There were some very strange street performers.

When I think cabins and mountains I totally think about tigers and toucans. And I also really liked all of the Aspen-inspired liquor stores, out here they are usually called “package stores.”

Unicoi State park was nice, it was small though. I guess there’s more towards the Anna Ruby Falls, which is also on our list to see, but we didn’t go there Sunday. This was the prettiness we saw though.

Some action shots of Joe skipping some rocks, he did some pretty awesome skips. I could never skip rocks very well.
