Anyone going to take a couple of days riding to Dahlonega? Lynn and I will be rolling NNW from the Island. Reaaly want to ride West, just south of GA's southern skirt then turn North and touch base with some of these wonders. Along the way I recon we'll get up round abouts of Havana, FL or Amsterdam, GA the first night. From there we ride to Providence Canyon the next day, lollygag about and catch some shut eye up closer to Pine Mountain, GA where after checking in for the night roll through the FD Roosevelt State Park to Warm Springs. When we roll like this, Lynn gets to sleep in while I start out the new day with a dawn ride. Seen many cities that way. Columbia SC, Danville VA to name a couple. Another one long ago was Vidalia GA. We've stayed the night several times in Vidalia over the year, always hoping to get some bonifide Vidalia Unyons somehow. We didn't but it's one of those places every knows about but has no idea about. Those two cities seems a fairly decent days ride for us. Witnessed an antebellum home being moved one year round ways of Baxter GA. Had to wait in the summer sun for 30 minutes while the beast was being trailed on steel h beams down the road...Although, like Vidalia and onions, I would not expect fine cigars in Havana or hemp in Amsterdam. The names are kinda romantic though. Nice motorsickle photo in front of the respective courthouses I bet, or the Courthouse of the County Seat(s). These ole towns are so freaking mayberryish. Like stepping back in time. Conjures up old blue eyes belting out 'April in Paris'. Too bad Amsterdam is just a cross roads.
