Places and Seasons

Going to Hiawassee today and they're expecting some weather up there.  But once it passes, Saturday is scheduled for sunny and 73!  There aren't a whole lot of places that can beat the Georgia mountains in the spring.  In fact, Hiawassee is the kind of place where there isn't really a bad time to go.

In the summer, you get on a boat and hit Lake Chatuge.
In the fall, you plan a weekender around college football and drive up from Athens, if you're lucky.
In the winter, you settle in by the fire, read a good book or do a puzzle, and pull for snow.
And in the spring, you do what I'm doing.  Take your fishing pole, maybe your golf clubs, and leave your worries behind in Atlanta.

That got me thinking about some of the places I've been and the ideal time to go there...
