Talona Creek, Talking Rock, GA

This was the wonderful view from the back while we were at Talona Creek RV Park in Talking Rock, GA.  There were even horses back there, you just can't see them!

I would love to see this creek in the late spring or early summer.  It really was charming!

As I write this we are on the way to Mississippi from our visit to my sister in Georgia.  We arrived there on Friday and went straight to the campground closest to their home which is Talona Creek RV Park, in Talking Rock. (You have to love that name, don't you?)  There were some good things about it but mostly it is just very iffy!  It was very quiet, very pretty with a creek running along the side, lots of beautiful trees (not blooming yet) and horses on the hillside.  But the spaces were just “spaces” in the dirt with old hookups.  There were many campers there that didn’t look occupied, very few people around.  And the dirt!  Oh, the dirt!  I am very tired of dirt!  This morning as we were leaving, the ground was damp from the dew and so we just had mud.  But the location near Patti and Dave was perfect.

This is Patti and I after having breakfast at Annies.

We had so much fun on our visit to this beautiful part of the Appalachians. I loved breakfast at Annie’s Country Cooking and wished I could have taken pictures of some of the interesting people there – long beards, multicolored hair and lots of suspenders.

We were told that there were like 20 million daffodils that bloom at different times.  We saw the early bloomers.

We spent a couple of hours at Gibbs Gardens viewing millions of daffodils. Millions and Millions of them.  And other beautiful plants too but so many weren’t in bloom yet.  If you are ever in that area, don’t miss it!

I loved these River Birch right beside the little stream of water.

Our wonderful hosts, Patti and Dave.  Thank you for such a fantastic time!

If you are ever in Ball Ground, GA be sure to stop by Frankfurt Doner & Meats for some old fashioned German Sausage.

We made a quick stop at Ball Ground for some authentic German Sausages which we later had for dinner along with some German Sauerkraut.

We loved learning a new fun game - Skip-Bo!  And Beezer loved having Jake visit him.  It was a love affair!

We even got to learn a new game called Skip-Bo.  Simple, easy fun with lots of laughs.  Patti totally won each game!
