Last week I rode to Tennessee; this week I rode down into Georgia, and visited the mountain town of Dahlonega. It is the home of Georgia's Military College, North Georgia College which is these days a full fledged state university. It was also the site of the first gold rush in US history.
The gold rush museum is in the center of the town square.
Some fall color is beginning there.
The General Store is not only the same as it was when my son was a boy, it is the same as it was since I was a boy. It has a player piano that plays late 19th and early 20th century tunes, flawlessly for decades.
There was an art festival in Hancock Park off the square. I met an old friend I haven't seen in probably twenty years.
No bear is served at the Outlaw House of Jerky. I did get some shark and elk jerky, though.
The Mellow Mushroom pizza is always excellent.
