Naturally Wonderful
by B i ll Gr eg o ry
It's striking to see the diversity found in Georgia's seven natural wonders. From one area comprising hundreds ofsquare miles to another far deeper than it is wide, these standouts are found in areas both remote and urban. Some are buzzing with attractions and activities; others are more historical in nature, offering a glimpse into the past. But all are genuine wonders.

Deep

Drops

In the northeastern tip of the

state, Tallulah Gorge, just outside

t he town of Tallulah Falls, is barely

two miles long and only a quarter-

mile w ide. Yet the cliffs drop 1,200

feet to the bottom at certain points.

The visual effect of this crack in the

earth's crust is breathtaking-no

wonder it was North Georgia's first

tourist attraction.

In the late 1800s, the gorge

and its waterfalls were a vacation

Tallulah Gorge, Tallulah Falls
GOEcO

destination for more people than any other site in the state. The town boomed with hotels, and a railroad

took visitors to the town of Tallulah Falls. The Georgia Power dam, completed

in 1912, dried up many of the falls and to uris m fell off, but revital ization t hrough

the state park system in the early 1990s gave the go rge new life. Trai ls we re

developed and maintained for exploring the gorge; a visitors center opened;

and p icnic and camping sites were enhanced . The area flourishes as a destina-

tion once again.

Today, t he park sports som e of the most diverse faci lities of any state-run

park . Visitors can enjoy a sandy beach along Ta ll ulah Lake, hike trails ac ross and

down into the gorge, or visit the nationally renowned Jane Hurt Yarn Interpre-

tive Center, a 15,000-square-foot, state-of-the -art fac ility with comprehe nsive

displays on the history and wildl ife of t he gorge.

Twice a year, in the spring and fall , t he dam is opened and the river flows

freely. W hile visitors are not allowed to hike into the gorge at these times, expe-

rienced kayakers are permitted to run the rapids, and visitors can watch t hem

from the overlooks.

Falling W ater
The 729-foot aquatic drop at Amicalola Falls in Dawsonville, north of Atlanta, is the tallest cascadi ng waterfall east of the Mississippi River. The area is so rugged that early settlers who acquired the land in a lottery did not even try to live there. But today, the Amicalola Lodge, a restaurant, and numerous hiking trails make it a favorite destination for nature lovers of al l ages . Park programming staff offer a variety of educational, recreational, cultural, leadership-initiative and teambuilding programs throughout the year. Most programs are free to the public and offered to park guests on a daily basis.
The park has four groups of trails within it, including one leading up to the top of the waterfa ll. For the ambitious hiker: an access trail connects Amica Iola with Springer Mountain, the southern terminus of the 2,175 -mile Appalachian Trail. Visitors who would rather not camp can stay at the four-story, 56-room Amicalola Lodge or in one of 14 fully equipped cottages. The lodge's Maple Re staurant is open year-round and serves buffet mea ls for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It seats 150 people and features a spectacular view of North Georgia's mountains from the glass-walled dining room .

Good Gully!
Here in the South , there 's a term for heavy rain : a "gully-washer." If you 've ever seen what a gully-washer can do to a soft surface of Georgia clay, then you can understand how Providence Canyon was formed . The canyon consists of huge gullies sculpted from soil-not by the action of a river or stream , but by rainwater runoff from farm fields in the 1800s. These farmers took no measures to avoid soil erosion; as a result , smal l gullies formed and rapid ly grew deeper and became more extensive. Today this 1,109-acre area includes 16 canyon s, some as deep as 150 feet ; all of them are included in the site known as Providence Canyon State Park .
This recent history makes Providence Canyon the youngest of Georgia's seven natural wonders, but iron ically, the geological effect has revealed some of the oldest natural d evelopments. The sediments composing the canyon ra nge from those on the canyon floor, formed about 70 million to 74 m illion years ago, to those visible in the top part of the canyon walls , deposited about 63 million to 65 million years ago, just after the age of the dinosaurs. From a trail along the rim of the canyon, 43 different colors of sand can be identified . This dramatic tapestry has earned Providence Canyon the nickname "Georgia's Little Grand Canyon ."

Seriously Swamped

The largest swamp in North America is the Okefenokee Swamp, covering approximately
700 square miles in the southeastern corner of

Stephen C. Foster State Park, Fargo
GEORG1AoEPARTM~N10FNAtuRALResouces

Georg ia. Not just a "natural wonder," the Okefenokee

Swamp has been recognized by the United Nations as a Wet land

of International Importance because of the diversity of wildlife it

supports. Formed over the past 6 ,500 years, the Okefenokee Swamp

attracts approximately 400,000 visitors every year. But th is attention has

not prompted the development of amenities and accommodations as you might

expect-this is a carefully preserved site. The Okefenokee is crisscrossed by

more than 120 miles of paddle and motorboat trails. The absen ce of roads helps

to maintain the ecosystem's integrity; canoe trails are the primary travel routes

through the swamp. Cypress swamps, winding waterways and floating peat

mats make up most of the terrain, and many varieties of shrubs and trees grow

on approximately 70 floating mats of peat. These are known as " tree islands."

There are four public entrances or landings: Suwannee Canal Recreation

A rea at Folkston, Kingfisher La nding at Race Pond, and Stephen C. Foster State

Park and Suwannee River Si ll Recreation Area at Fargo. There is also a private

attraction, Okefenokee Swamp Park, which provides access about eight miles

south of Waycross. One truly enters another world upon entering the swamp.

Virtually all species of wading birds and waterfowl native to the Southeast can

be found in the Okefenokee during one season or another. There are more than

200 varieties of birds and more than 60 kinds of reptiles known to inhabit the

swamp. After nightfall, when most birds fall silent, swamp sounds begin anew

from the more than 20 species of indigenous frogs and toads. And then, of

course, there are the alligators.

Two of Georgia's natural wonders are hot springs. On the lower slopes of Pine Mountain, south of Atlanta and about 40 miles north of Columbus, Warm Springs enjoys national and internationa l recognition. It was here that U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt found relief for his polio in the springs that share the town's name. A natural trap, about 3, 80 0 feet undergrou nd, heats the water continuously to a temperature of 88 degrees . This hot-water fount is truly a natural marvel, as wel l as the setting for the Little White House Roosevelt built there in 1932.
While posing for a portrait on April 12, 1945, FDR suffered a cerebral hemorrhage at Warm Springs and died. Today, his unfinished portrait is featured in a museum that showcases many exhibits, including FDR 's 1938 Ford convertible with hand controls. Visitors can tour FDR's home, which has been carefully preserved very much as he left it; the servants' and guest quarters; and the nearby pools co m p lex that first brought the president to Warm Springs.
The largest natural spring in the state is called Radium Springs . Like War m Springs, Radium Springs is found in a town of the same name, located on the southern outskirts of Albany in the southwest corner of the state. The deep-blue waters of Radium Springs, a color created by the presence of trace amounts of radium, flow freely into the Flint River at a constant temperature of 68 degrees. In addition to warm waters, Radium Springs also has an extensive underwater cavern system . Plans to reopen the springs to the public include a beautiful new botanical garden.

LaserShow Spectacular, Stone Mounta in
STONE MOUN'fAIN PARK

Rock Solid
Stone Mountain represents, by far, the best-known and most-visited natural wonder in the state. Located in the metro Atlanta area,
it is recognized as the largest exposed mass of granite in the Southeast and features a Confederate carving on its face. The carved surface actually measures 3 acres in size. making it the world 's largest relief sculpture. Few people know that the carving was actually done by more than one artist. The renowned sculptor Gutzon Borglum did the carving of Robert E. Lee in 1916, but after a disagreement over artistic control, and with only Lee's head completed, construction was halted. It wasn't until almost 50 years later that Confederate icons Thomas " Stonewall " Jackson and Jefferson Davis were added, along with the rest of Lee.
The carving of the three men, which towers 400 feet above the ground and measures 90 by 190 feet , is recessed 42 feet into the mountain. When planners dedicated the memorial in 1970, an estimated 10,000 visitors came to witness its unveiling.
Stone Mountain Park celebrated its 50th anniversary last year by investing $10 million in improvements. Most noteworthy was the opening of Sky Hike, a quartermile hiking , jumping and climbing cou rse in the treetops . There are three trails to choose from: a 12-foot-high trail for beginners, a 24-foot trail for the courageous and the almost-40-foot-high trail , which. at more than four stories tall , is for the true daredevil. The celebration also brought the opening of a new. digitally remastered LaserShow Spectacular, the latest upgrade to the world 's longest-running laser show. With other attractions such as a scenic railroad , a paddle-wheel riverboat, pedal boats. mini-g olf and a "Ride the Ducks Sightseeing Adventure ," one could almost forget that the big rock of a mountain is one of Georgia's most unique natural wonders. attracting up to 4 million visitors a year.

Relics ofGeorgia's earliest civilizations have transcended the ages to become some of the state's most intriguing tourist attractions. Experience ancient spiritual power at prehistoric earthen monuments and mysterious rock effigies, and bear witness to the vestiges ofthe Cherokee Nation's incredible prosperity, devastating decline and exodus. The state's ancient and historic Native American sites bring its distant past to life, while museum and gallery exhibits ofcontemporary art reveal the complex connections between these deep cultural roots and present-day Native American experiences throughout the Southeast and beyond.

Early Ci il-'1.- )t
The Creek Indians, migrating from the Southwest, founded the first large-scale civilizations in Georgia. These moundbuilding Mississippian-era people established sizable permanent settlements and distinctive earthen monuments throughout the state's major river valleys. Cherokee Indians, who were not mound builders, moved into North Georgia from the Great Lakes region in the Midwest much later, around the middle of the 15th century.

The Mound Builders
Kolomoki Mounds State Park, near Blakely in southwestern Georgia, is the state's oldest great temple mound. Seven flat-topped and domed grass-covered mounds are all that remain of what was once one of the most populous prehistoric settlements in North America . The park 's remarkable museum extends into an excavated mound, providing a fascinating look inside the monument and a unique setting for displays of the Swift Creek and Weeden Island Indian artifacts discovered there.
Georgia's next-oldest extant settlement, Ocmulgee National Monument, dates to approximately A.D. 900. Lo cated in Macon , in the state 's midsection , Ocmulgee Mounds includ es a variety of earthen lodges and burial , ceremonial and platform monuments, including a Great Temple Mound and an unusual "spiral " mound , that were built over a period of several centuries by people of the Mississippian and Lamar cultures.
The largest remaining Mississippian site in the Southeast is Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site, located near Cartersville in North Georgia. The towering , circular, flat-topped mounds are arranged around a central plaza and once served as ceremonial, political and burial monuments. Steps leading to the top of one of the 60-foot-tall mounds allow visitors to view the entire Etowah Valley, the site of one of the final great cities of the Mississippian culture.

Etched In Stone
Trackrock Gap, near the present-day town of Blairsville in North Georgia , is the site of a mysterious collection of pre-Cherokee-era markings carved into slabs of soapstone. Resembling animal tracks, geometric shapes and human footprints, the petroglyphs have stumped archaeologists and intrigued visitors for generations. The Cherokee, who established the settlem ent of Brasstown in Track Roc k Gap, referred to the site simply as the " printed place." While the Cherokee considered nearby Blood Mountain a holy place, Brasstown Bald , whi c h at 4 ,784 feet is Georgia 's highest peak, played an important role in Cherokee legend as well , and today the Brasstown Valley Resort celebrates this history through informative cultural exhibits displaying antiquities unearthed during the building of the resort.
Rock Eagle, located near Eatonton, is a rare extant effigy mound dating from 1,000 to 3,000 years ago. Boasting a 120-foot wingspan and reaching 8 feet high at its tallest point, the mound-in the shape of a prone bird w ith wings outstretched-is composed of thousands of pieces of whitishgray quartzite. A viewing tower provides visitors a bird 's- eye perspective of the unique monument.

Conflict and Ren1oval

Contact with European settlers changed the lives of Georgia 's early

inhabitants dramatically. Long-simmering hostilities between the

Creeks and the Cherokees were exacerbated and complicated by

evolving relations and alliances with different groups of Europeans

throughout the colonial period. Settlers' insatiable quest for arable

land and the discovery of gold in southern Appalachia led to heightened

conflicts with Native Americans . Government-mandated removal efforts in

1830 had driven most of Georgia's Creek and Cherokee Indians to the newly cre-

ated Oklahoma Indian Territory.

The Chieftains Museum/Major Ridge Home in the northwestern Georgia

city of Rome was the family estate of Major Ridge, one of the founders of the

Cherokee Nation and a slave-owning plantation manager. The Major Ridge Home,

built in the early 1790s, comprises two stories with white-painted wood clap-

board siding and true glass windowpanes, evidence of the family's wealth and

status. The Chief Vann House, located in nearby Chatsworth, was the home of

father-and-son Cherokee leaders James and Joseph Vann . Bu ilt be t ween 1804

and 1806 and hailed as the " Showplace of the Cherokee Nation," the two-story

brick masterpiece contains fascinating original architectural elements, such

as the so-called "Christian doors" featuring cross-and-Bible carvings by local

Moravian missionaries, and the incredible "floating" staircase, Georgia's oldest

known example of cantilevered construction. During the 1830s, both the Ridge

and Vann families were dispossessed of their lands and property and forced to

go out West. Today these remarkable estates, now run as museums, serve as rare

architectural and cultural remind-

ers of late colonial Cherokee life in

North Georgia.

New Echota, established in

1825 as the capita l of the Cherokee

Nation, represents one of the earli-

est forays into national self-gover-

nance by an American Indian tribe.

Ironically, New Echota was also

the site of the signing of a treaty

relinquishing Cherokee lands east of

the Mississippi River and the place

where many Cherokee assembled

for mass removal along the Trail

of Tears . Located near Calhoun in

northwestern Georgia, the New

Echota Historic Site now includes

original and reconstructed govern-

Indian Springs Hotel, Indian Springs

ment buildings, as well as residential outbuildings, artifact collections and a visitors center.

Located off Interstate 75 in Central Georg ia,

Indian Springs is considered the oldest state park in

the nation . Creek k1dians had long attributed healing

powers to the natural mineral springs and, in the 1800s,

the area blossomed into a popular resort destination. In

1823, Creek Indian Chief William McIntosh constructed

the Indian Springs Hotel to cater to visitors. The Feder-

alist-style inn featured generous two-story porches on

almost all sides, hand-planed boards and a foundation

of local stone. Several years later, the hotel was the site

of the signing of two treaties ceding almost 5 million

acres of Creek land to the State. Today, the Indian

Springs Hotel represents Georgia's only surviving min-

eral springs-associated lodging establishment and is

open to the public.

Artifacts and Exhibits
The Northeast Georgia History Center at Gainesville's Brenau University features the relocated homestead of Ch erokee Chief White Path . The cabin , built in 1780, was original ly con structed by White Path's parents near presentday Ellijay. Today the White Path cabin exhibit represents a mid-1830s Chero kee farmstead , with authentic furnishings and vegetable and herb gardens.
Just west of Gainesville in Waleska, Reinhardt College's Funk Heritage Center, des ignated as Georgia 's Official Frontier and Southeastern Indian Interpretive Center, showcases the Southeast's prehistoric native cultures. The mu seum 's grand lobby resemb les an Iroquois long house, while the ga llery wings evoke the earthen mounds and living structures distinctive to Mississipp ian-era people in the Southeast.
The Funk Heritage Center's Appalachian Settlement exhibit explores the complex relations between white settlers and Cherokee Indians during the colonial period, and the Clarence and Margaret Rogers Contemporary American Indian Art Exhibit features original works by Native American artists, most of them Oklahomans and many of whom are descendants of Southeastern Indians.
Farther south, the Augusta Museum of History's exhibit explores the fascinating Late Archaic peoples of Stallings Island . Located in the middle Savannah River Valley, this culture dates to between 5,500 and 3,000 years ago, and archaeological excavations on the island have revea led evi dence of the earliest pottery yet discovered in North America.
Discover compelling clues to the lives of cu ltures both long and recently past. Explore once-bustling cultural centers. Walk among the monuments of ancients. From archaeological sites and historic landmarks to contemporary museum exhibits, Georgia's Native American heritage comes to life as
some of the state's most compelling travel destinations.

A resurrected frontier country store complex from the 1840s, the museum, located in the southwestern corner of the state, is complete with wooden cash registers, petticoat counters, an antique post office, gristm ill , tobacco twister, velvet-bean sheller and more than 4 ,000 artifacts , many of them the only surviving
ones in the United States.

Doc's Early Days
Before his Wild West wanderings , the famously hot-tempered gunslinger Doc Holllday called Valdosta home. His fam ily lived on East Savannah Avenue for roughly eight years during his childhood , and Holl iday attended grade school at the Valdosta Institute.
Cuttin Edge
The Augusta Cu ting Horse Futurity and Festival brings Wi ld West culture and the excitement of a major "cutting " competition to the James Brown Arena for 10 days each January. Cutting developed on Southwest cattle ranches in the 1880s as a way of removing a single cow from the herd. Modern-day cowboys showcase their cutting skills in nationally accla imed competitions like the Augusta Futurity, and the arena action is supplemented by Western-wear vendors and equipment suppliers, lively festival activities and plenty of frontier-style entertainment.
Adrenaline Rush
The three-day Georgia National Rodeo, which takes place each February at the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter in Perry, has cowboys and cowgirls from across the country competing in bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, barrel racing, steer wrestling, tie-down roping and team roping. Points earned at the Georgia National Rodeo qualify riders for the Nationa l Fina ls Rodeo in Las Vegas.

O fficial Georgia Travel Gu ide 15

Whether they're foraging in a coastal marsh or grazing on a traditional farm, countless animals and creatures make their home right here in Georgia. Bison, pythons and even kangaroos-these are just some ofthe animals you will find at petting zoos, ranches and preserves across the state.

Urban Jungle

Atlanta is a big city, but not all of its

inhabitants have two legs and opposable

thumbs.

Zoo Atlanta , in the city 's Grant Park

neighborhood, is one of the 10 o ldest

continuously operating zoos in the United

States and houses more than 200 animal

species, including lion cubs born last

spring and a new panda cub. The male

cub, born on August 30, was the only giant

panda to be born in the U.S. in 2008. He is

the second offspring of Lun Lun and Yang

Yang and the younge r sibling of the world-

famous Mei Lan, born in 2006.

With 8 million gallons of fresh and

marine water, Atlanta 's Georgia Aquarium

is the world 's largest, harboring more

aquatic life than any aquarium on the planet. Among the 100,000 animals in residence are sharks, stingrays , weedy sea

Georgia Aquarium , Atlanta
GEORGIA AQUARIUM

dragons, beluga whales and whale sharks, which

aren' t actually whales , but the largest fish in

the world. Georgia Aquarium is the only

aquarium outside of A sia to ha ve these

enormous creatures.

Feed and pet any of the hundreds

of denizens of the 24 wooded acres at

Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn ,

just outside of Atlanta. Here, every-

one is friendly-from the w hite-tailed

deer and rabbits to black bears and

the largest herd of buffalo east of the

Mississippi River. There's even a cougar

nd assorted newborns, including

Three stops along Georg ia's coast present countless opportunities for animal encounters in the most idyllic settings.
For everything you ever wa nted to know about sea turtles but didn ' t know whom to ask, answers can be found at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island . The center is
a turtle rehabilitation, research and educat ion facility. Visitors touring the center can explore exhibits on sea turtle conserva tion and learn about these creatures' amazing developmental journey.
South of Folkston, the Okefenokee Swamp, a National Wildlife Refuge and one of Georgia's natural wonders, offers a magnificent view of wildlife in its natural surroundings. Making the Okefenokee their home are alligators, black bears, whitetailed deer, sandhill cranes, anhingas, egrets, herons, otters, raccoons, tortoises, snapping turtles, bobcats, wild turkeys and snakes of many kinds. Both boat and train tours are available. Travel northeast to Savannah to the Oatland Island Wildlife Center and discover facts about Georgia's predators-the black bear is the largest predator in the state; the barn owl has the best hearing of any animal-and trek along the alligator wetland to see sandhill cranes, one of the tallest bird species in North America .

From
Water Slides to Wilderness
by Kacey Cloues
Fro m extended excursions to after-work escapes, Georgia's potential for outdoor adventure is staggering. Boasting
incredibly diverse topography, a wealth of natural resources and four distinct seasons, the state is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, thrill-seeking athletes and pursuers ofall manner of weekend recreation.
Play in the Parks
Encompassing geography ranging from rugged mountains to gently rolling piedmont and flat coastal plains, Georgia's state parks feature lakes, rivers, steep peaks, marshland and thick forests, and are home to rare ecosystems and unexpected microclimates. South of Columbus, not far from the Alabama state line, hike among dazzlingly colored rock spires at Providence Canyon . Canoe through moss-draped cypress forests in Stephen C. Foster State Park, a primary entrance to the Okefenokee Swamp. Hurtle down mountain-bike trails at Fort Mountain and Tallulah Gorge state parks in North Georgia's mountains. Enjoy a round of Frisbee golf at Georgia Veterans St at e Park, on Lake Blackshear in Cordele, or tee off for conventional play at Hard Labor Creek Golf Course in Hard Labor Creek State Park, less than an hour's drive east of Atlanta. Put a fun twist on the usual camping experience with an overnight stay in a yurt at Bobby Brown State Park on Clarks Hill Lake, north of Augusta in Elberton, or at Lake Allatoona's Red Top Mountain State Park, just 45 minutes northwest of Atlanta .

Rock It
One way to beat the heat of a Georgia summer is to go underground. Walker and Dade counties, in northwest Georgia, boast a number of magnificent caverns, including the six-mile Pettijohn's Cave, five-mile Byers Cave and the almost-12-mile-long Ellison's Cave, site of the two deepest underground drops in the continental United States. The southwestern corner of the state is another caving hot spot, home to Blowing Cave and the threemile-long Glory Hole Cavernsknown for its elaborate crystalline gypsum formations-both located outside of Cairo, and Climax Caverns, the largest above-water cave system in the country 's coastal plain region , near the Florida line.
For those who prefer rocky adventures above-ground, several areas in North Georgia offer exciting rock-climbing opportunities. Mount Yonah , located between Cleveland and Helen in North Georgia, has plenty of recently installed cables and bolts for experienced climbers. Located in the northeast corner of the state, Tallulah Gorge's steep, rugged climbs feature few tie-off bolts and are best suited to experienced wall crawlers. In northwest Georgia, the Lost Wall section of Pigeon Mounta in is close to the road and boasts easy to moderate slopes.

Outdoor recreation in Southeast Georgia is defined by three mighty rivers: the Ocmulgee, the Oconee

and the Altamaha . These flatwater rivers are perfect for first-time paddlers, family

or group float trips and wildlife-viewing expeditions. The Altamaha River

provides a vital habitat for more than 120 rare or endangered species,

including the red-cockaded woodpecker, shortnose sturgeon and West

Indian manatee; visitors just might also catch a glimpse of a bald eagle or

a bobcat.

Experience Georgia's rivers up close with a ride along the water. Board

a long, wide, open-air Petersburg boat for a sunset cruise or moonlight music

tour of the Augusta Canal, Georgia's first designated National Heritage Area

and the on ly historic industrial power canal in the country still producing

hydroelectricity. The Patriot, a 51-foot tour boat guided by licensed U.S. Coast

Guard captains, offers a fully enclosed cabin with panoramic window views and

a canopied open deck for visitors to enjoy a relaxing cruise down the Savannah

River along Augusta 's Riverwalk, where wildlife, beautiful homes and historical

attractions abound. Guided canoe trips at the Chattahoochee Nature Center in

Roswell offer instruction for novice paddlers and provide expert insight into the

famous river's diverse wildlife, including gopher tortoises, beavers, owls and bald

eagles. Farther north, experience the Southeast's most thrilling white-water raft-

ing on the Chattooga, Georgia's only nationally designated "Wild and Scenic" River.

Georgia's coastline, stretching more than 100 miles and including several gorgeous barrier islands, buzzes with outdoor activity

year-round. Try your hand at catching Wild Georgia Shrimp aboard Brunswick-based Credle's Adventures' Lady Jane, or explore the

intricate ecosystems of Georgia 's coastal marshlands and spot bottlenose dolphins, squids and even sharks on a Bull River Cruises

eco-tour in Savannah. Ree l in a tarpon , shark, speckled seatrout, red bass or flounder on a deep-sea fishing charter from Jekyll

Island's Coastal Expeditions . Commune with aquatic creatures in their natural environment

at Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary. Located off Sapelo Island, southeast of Savan-

nah, Gray's Reef is one of the largest near-shore, live-bottom reefs in the Southeast and

among the East Coast's most highly acclaimed scuba diving destinations.

Looking for an aquatic experience with lots of bells and whistles? Make waves at

one of the state's water parks. Statesboro's Splash in the Boro, Atlanta's Six Flags White

Water, and Splash Island at Valdosta's Wild Adventures serve up exciting rides, languid

lazy rivers and plenty of cooling excitement for all ages. Also check out the water parks

on Jekyll Island and in St. Marys . At Sun Valley Beach in Marietta, enjoy the Southeast's

largest swimming pool (an acre and a half!) as well as 10 waterslides, zip lines and a dol-

phin fountain; at The Beach at Clayton County International Park in Jonesboro, there's

a spring-fed lake with a kiddie pool, slides, a water trampoline, indoor playground, tennis

center and stocked fishing lakes.

On the Hunt
From w ildlife management areas to private estates, Georgia is rife w ith hunt ing opportunities. In South Georgia , Wynfield Plantation in Albany, Myrtlewood Hunting Plantation outside of Thomasville, Flat Creek Lodge in Swainsboro, Gopher Plantation in Millwood and Branhill Plantation in Denton offer quail , pheasant, deer, wild turkey and boar hunting in settings that range from rustic to resort.
For a different type of hunting, try geocaching . A modern-day, worldw ide take on "X marks the spot," geocaching involves
downloading coordinates from the Internet to a Global Positioning System unit to locate hidden stashes of treasure. Caches contain a logbook to track acti v ity as well as all sorts of interesting goodies, from coupons for local restaurants to pictures of exciting travel spots and music CDs . It 's a great way to experience regional culture, col lect memorable souvenirs and explore new cities in depth . The only rule is that once hunters find a cache and take the booty, they should leave something in return for future geocachers. Some of Georgia's geocaching hubs include Columbus , Va ldosta , Statesboro, Savannah , Albany, Atlanta, Roswell , Da lton , Gainesvil le, Kingston and Macon .

Above It All

Take sightseeing to new heights with lofty adventures like Historic Banning Mills' Tree Flight Zip Line Canopy Tours. Just 45 minutes

west of Atlanta in Whitesburg, Historic Banning Mills is a wooded retreat with guest cottages, lodge rooms , a spa and outdoor activities

ranging from putt-putt and swimming to team-building ropes courses. Its signature activity, however, is its tree canopy zip line, an attrac-

tion usually associated with exotic rainforest tours . The one-and -a-half-mile zip line cable suspends passengers up to 200 feet above the

ground, providing breathtaking views of Snake Creek Gorge and the ruins of a historic paper mill once located on its shores.

Boats, Wagons at d Beyond
Enjoy the lake lifestyle without giving up the comforts of home. Just 45 minutes northeast of Atlanta, Lake Lanier offers houseboat rentals for a night, weekend or week. Many of the houseboats offer several bedrooms. a fully equipped kitchen, air-conditioning and a gas grill. Houseboat rentals also are offered on Lake Allatoona in Cartersville. In the west-central part of the state, The Rock Ranch offers guests an opportunity to live and sleep as American pioneers did during the Westward Expansion of the 19th century. The ranch's Conestoga wagons sleep eight per four-wheel, canvas-covered cart, and guests have the option of paying for a children's-book author to join them around a campfire for storytelling. From The Rock Ranch, head south to Americus . home of the celebrated Windsor Hotel and 10 miles from Andersonville's National Historic Site. Spend a day visiting the Civil War village and prison, national cemetery and prisoner of war museum there, then head to the Windsor Hotel for a night or two in one of its 53 unique, period-style rooms . The hotel, originally built in 1892 in true Victorian fashion , was restored almost 20 years ago and has welcomed such notable guests as former President Jimmy Carter.

With its hospitable charm, rich Southern food and breathtaking scenery, Georgia offers its guests a true retreat from th e routin es of their daily lives. While many Peach State visitors plan their vacations around visits to certain landmarks, restaurants in which to eat, and sights to see, more and more are choosing their trips based on where they'll stay. One-of-a-kind lodging options are plentiful, and they make for an unforgettable Georgia getaway. Travelers looking for something unique discover that unconventional lodging is available statewide.

A Tent by Any Other Name

If you 're up for an adventure, one out-o f-the -ordinary, inexp ensive

o ption is staying in a yurt. Wh ile the name may sound slightl y funn y, a

yurt is a comfortable alternative to camping out in a tent. It is a small ,

ci rcular bu ild ing orig inally used by the nomad ic Mongolian people of

central Asia . Their yurts w ere portable, provid ing th em w ith the fle xi b il-

ity thei r lifesty les demanded.

Perfect for getting back in touch with Mother Nature, yurts ca n be a

romanti c alternative to a night at a fi ve-star hotel. At the Cedar House Inn

& Yurts in Dahlonega, guests can enjoy a ru st ic experience in two yurts

located on the bed and breakfast 's property. One yurt resides o n the side

of a hill , and th e oth er is surrounded by mountain laurel. Both are ideal fo r

travelers looking for an outdoo r

escape with the comforts of a

queen bed and heating and air-

condition ing. Due to the limited

Grand

Hotels

For a more refined,

historical experience, check into one of

Georgia's designated

Historical Inns of

America . These elegant options include

Jekyll Island Club Hotel, Jekyll Island
JEKYLLISLANocLueHoreL

Augusta's The Partridge Inn and Americus' Windsor Hotel, both of wh ich were estab-

lished in 1892; The Mulberry Inn , which began its life in the 1860s as a cotton warehouse

and livery stable in Savannah; the River Street Inn , located in Savannah 's Landmark Historic District on the riverfront; The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort, which sits at the ocean 's edge on St. Simons Island; the Jekyll Island Club Hotel on Jekyll Is land ; and Greyfield Inn on Cumberland Island.

The Jekyll Island Club Hotel is located approxi matel y halfway between Savannah

and Jacksonv ille, Fla . The Jekyll Island Club Hotel has a long list of celebrated members,

includ ing W ill iam Rockefeller and Joseph Pulitzer. The hotel is composed o f room s in the

building that first housed the club, and guest cottages built and owned by several of its

most famous members, including the Sans Souci cottage, wh ich was owned in part by J.P.

Morgan . From historic tours and carriage rides to miles and miles of beache s, the Jekyll Island Club Hotel offers a myriad of acti v ities for guests to enjoy.

Accessible only by ferry, Greyfield Inn boasts more than 200 acres of oceanfront land available privately to its guests. Greyfield, one of four homes originally bu ilt on the island by

Lucy Carneg ie for her children, was converted into an inn in 1962. Here guests will see late-

Victorian antiques and a library stocked w ith first-edition books owned by the Carnegies.

What Little Ones Like

Head north to Augusta for an overnight

camp -in at Fort Discovery. This family-ori-

ented overnighter, intended to fire up children

on topics such as math, science and technol-

ogy, offers fun workshops and sk y obser va-

t ions from Fort Discovery 's planetarium .

Another educational-yet-fun sleepover is

offered through Zoo Atlanta 's NightCrawler

program . Lo cated in the Atlanta metro area,

Zoo Atlanta impresses its overnight guests

with a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the zoo

and up-close visits with animals.

The educational excitement continues

in Thomson at The Old Frontier, an 8S-acre

campsite d esigned for children to learn more about past lifestyles. Guests can stay in

Fort Discovery, Augusta
NATIONAL SCIENCE CENTER

bunkhouses that feature an old frontier design or on the campground , which includes

several teepees . Th e Old Frontier's Ind ian Village even boasts a dig area in wh ich camp-

ers can find treasured artifact s. Participants also attend classes and demonstrations on

primiti ve toolmaking and can test their bow-and-arrow sk ills at an on-site archery range.

Biking and hi k ing trails, a m ining area and an obstacle course are some of The Old

Frontier's other attractions.

Suspended Sleep
For the rugged adventurer tra vel ing by canoe , boarding for a night or two on covered wooden platform s located roughly 3 feet above the water in Georgia 's Okefenokee Swamp make s for an unusual trip. The Okefenokee is ac ce ssible by three entrances located in Folkston , Fargo and Waycross . Paddle a canoe to the wooden c ampsites, but don't be surprised to encounter 6-foot-long alligators and other wildlife along the way. Overnight visitors are required to obta in a permit to camp out, and because t he platforms are relatively small, be su re to ask how many yours can accommodate comfortably.

Tl1e Inn Crowd
In South Georgia, enjoy the many activities available at General Coffee State Park and rent the 19th-century Burnham House, located inside the park, for your overnight stay. The park, located in Nicholls, includes four small lakes, various hiking trails and lots of cypress trees. Paddle down the Seventeen Mile River by canoe or visit Heritage Farm, which combines education with fun by illustrating Georgia's agricultural history with log cabins, a corncrib, tobacco barn, cane mill, barnyard animals and more.
For hiking and mountain-biking enthusiasts, Mulberry Gap Bunkhouse Inn is a great place. This Ellijay inn, tucked at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains, offers access to several trails, including Pinhoti Trail , Appalachian Trail , Jacks Rivers Falls and Emory Creek. After a full day of hiking and biking, come home to the cozy comfort of the inn's bunkhouse lodging and hearty, home-cooked meals. Nearby at Amicalola Falls, the Len Foote Hike Inn is a retreat that can be reached only by foot via a hiking trail, a moderate trek that takes two to four hours to complete. In addition to facilities tours, breakfast and dinner, this unique inn offers such diversions as storytell ing and instruction on worm-composting, and features wood-burning stoves in common areas and a Sunrise Room , too.
For travelers interested in hunting and fishing, Flat Creek Lodge in Swainsboro offers plenty of wild game and fish-and enhances its guests' stays with a unique lodging experience. Each
of the 12 themed lodge rooms is decorated with art and accessories crafted by local artists. Wake up and step out onto a veranda to take
in the magnificent view of the lodge's main lake. Flat Creek can accommodate guests in one of its eight cottages, too, and keeps non-hunters busy with its environmentally friendly spa.

WHAT'S NEW IN GEORGIA
Open.c1or Bus1.ness by Stephanie Green
Quaint bed and breakfasts and one- of-a-kind shops, engaging museums and exciting attractions-Georgia's newest offerings promise something for everyone.

Goldmine of Opportunity
The Georgia Gold Rush, which began in 1828, was the first significant gold rush in the United States. Not far from Atlanta, Villa Rica's Pine Mountain Gold Museum, a showcase of the area's mining industry prior to the Dahlonega Gold Rush, keeps the spirit alive. It's the only gold museum in Georgia located at the site of an actual mine; visitors can hike to the mine ruins as well as pan for gold and gems . Folks can also pick up a pan and poke around for gold and gems at The Old Frontier in Thomson .
McKinney's Pond, north of Swainsboro, is the site of the oldest known structure in Emanuel County: a long, low dam that existed when white men first traversed the area in search of gold and furs . Today the area around the spring-fed, limestonebottomed cypress pond is the site of a restaurant, a gristmill and 300-plus-yearold, moss-draped trees.
A Return to Our Roots
The T.R.R. Cobb House returned to its roots when it was moved from Stone Mountain to a site in Athens that 's just two blocks from its original location. The former home of one of Georgia's great lawyers and principal author of the Confederate Constitution was meticulously restored to reflect the style of 1860.
Sitting on a pastoral 30-acre estate is another Athens escape, The Colonels on Angel Oaks Farm Bed and Breakfast, built in 1860.
Futuristic Fun
If you're looking for fast-paced, high-tech fun, Adventure Crossing in Augusta will not disappoint. The mini-amusement park-with its go-karts, miniature golf and midway rides-features a new state-of-theart indoor LASERTRON, which plays like a competitive team sport.
And Funopolls Fun Center in Commerce is just what the name implies, which is why more than one v isit may be required to take it all in , from laser tag , go-karts and bumper cars/boats to miniature golf, a climbing wall and flight simulators.

Time-Out
Occupying 110 acres tucked amid lakes Burton and Rabun, Clayton's Persimmon Creek Vineyards, planted and tended by hand , produces several varietals. In addi tion to the wine , a new Tasting Room & Culinary Shop has opened in downtown Clayton, offering Georgia cheeses, grits, ground cornmeal and earthenware.
Retro-Active
If highbrow comedies, independent films and documentaries are your thing, Retro Cinema and Books in Washington is where it 's at. The cinema's seats rock, and there's a bookstore and vintage wine bar, too.
The Athens Arthaus Cine also gives film lovers a venue in which to enjoy the newest productions, movie classics and retrospectives . The Cine building itself may be old, but cutting-edge technology provides optimal viewing and sound.
At the Old MIii Motorcycle Museum in Juliette, near Macon, 22 motorcycles-dating from the 1930s to the 1960s-have been thoughtfully collected, passionately restored and proudly displayed.
Funny Farms, Crazy Critters
Louisville 's Kackleberry Farm offers barnyard animals, along with campfires , a lake and agri-educational events, and it's one of few places to offer a corn-filled sandbox, a "korn kannon" (for shooting corn at targets , of course !), a hay jump and a barrel -car train pulled by a tractor.
At Hightower Creek Clydesdales in Hiawassee resides the most famous breed of draft horse. These gentle giants are available for coach rides , but they 're so lovable it may be enough just to visit them in their barn .
And while we're on the subject of animals-barnyard and otherwise-don't forget about the family-friendly Reed Creek Wetlands Park and Interpretive Center in Martinez. Kids can catch and release insects and explore wetlands plants and creatures.

Everything Old Is New Again
Leave no stone (or fossil) unturned as you explore Tellus: Northwest Georgia Science Museum in Cartersville. The 125,000square-foot facility offers an array of galleries, hands-on science experiences and a full-scale cast of an apatosaurus dinosaur, one of the largest in North America . Tellus also houses the only fully digital planetarium in Nor th Georgia regularly open to the public.
History buffs, prepare to be engaged at the Museum of Creation and Natural History in Social Circle. The 11 ,000 -squarefoot museum displays natural history from the age of dinosaurs. Shoppers can take their pick of original pottery and artworks. Blue WIiiow VIiiage houses nine cottagestyle shops featuring Victorian architecture, a 1950s-style soda fountain and an antiques store.
Then there's the new Braselton Heritage and Visitor's Center, which features displays on the history of Braselton and the surrounding area , inc luding the history of Braselton High School, the development of Chateau Elan Winery and Resort, and items related to the days when Braselton was owned by actress Kim Bassinger.
At the End of the Day
When it's time for rest, head to Long Mountain Lodge in Dahlonega, a bedand- breakfast retreat nestled in a rustic mountain setting. Cozy up in front of the two-story fireplace and take in the mountain views . Visitors may opt to stay in one of si x suites or rent the cabin .
Hey Y'all!
Hop aboard the new Paula Deen Trolley Tour in Savannah. See landmarks from the life of the famous Southern cooking entrepreneur and Food Network personality while touring the classic city. The tour includes lunch at Paula's brother's restaurant, Uncle Bubba 's Oyster House, and a goodie bag. Tours are offered daily from Old Town Trolley Welcome Center.

COAST

From the miles ofshoreline and windswept dunes of the barrier islands to swampland teeming with stealthy creatures, Georgia's coast is a place ofnatural and cultural wonders. Here, discover captivating wildlife, fragi le ecosystems, luxury resorts, bustling historic ports and towns, and a rich and vibrant history. vistcoastalgeorgia.com

Island Inspiration

Dungeness, Cumberland Island
GOEc O

Protected by more than a dozen barrier islands, Georgia's coastline is largely undeveloped and pristine, making it a unique maritime ecosystem. On Cumberland Island, witness wild horses frolicking in the surf's salty spray or wander the ruins of Dungeness, the oncesplendid estate of Thomas Carnegie. Keep your eyes open for bottlenose dolphins around St. Marys, Tybee Island and Darien; scuba dive at Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary; or venture out on a deep-sea fishing excursion.

St. Simons Island
BRUNSWICK GOLDEN ISLES Cl/8
Fun in the Sun
With a moderate year-round climate, the coast is the ideal place to engage in lots of outdoor activities. Larry Credle, captain of the working shrimping vessel Lady Jane , will drop the nets and explore his catch on deck-an onboard learning experience that no visitor should miss. Catch a g limpse of more than 300 bird species along the Colonial Coast Birding Trail, which traverses salt marshes, tidal rivers and wetlands, or tee off on St. Simons Island 's north end at The Hampton Club or Waycross' Lakes at Laura Walker. For even more action , hit the beach for a quiet jog, test your skills on a boogie board, or canoe one of the coast 's hidden tidal inlets.

Shedding Some Light
Five historic lighthouses stand along Georgia's coast. Those on Tybee Island, Sapelo Island and St. Simons Island are open to the public for touring and climbing, and the lighthouses on Tybee and St. Simons islands are accompanied by restored outbuildings and keeper's quarters. The lighthouse on Little Cumberland Island stands on private property and isn't open to the visiting public, but Cockspur Island 's lighthouse, while challenging to reach-it 's only accessible by boat-is.

Fort Frederica, St. Simons Island
LYNNE PALMER KING
Walled Off
Seven historic forts play an important role in Georgia's coastal defense system . In 1721, Fort King George in Darien was the southernmost outpost of the British Empire; that same year, James Oglethorpe built Fort Frederica, the remains of which can still be seen on St. Simons Island. Revolutionary War earthworks can be seen at Midway's Fort Morris, while some of the most well-preserved Confederate earthworks are at Richmond Hil l's Fort McAllister. Tybee Island's Fort Screven, active until 1947, was a key part of Georgia's coastal defense through the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II; Sava nnah's Old Fort Jackson and Fort Pulaski were primarily Civil War garrisons.

Southern Roots
Centuries of African -Ame rican history are poignantly presented at a number of institutions along Georgia's coast. At the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum and the First African Baptist Church in Savannah, visitors explore African-American heritage, while a stop at Seabrook Village in Midway allows a peek into a living-history museum that chronicles postCivil War life in a town of freed slaves. Riceboro's Geechee Kunda Cultural Arts Center is dedicated to the exploration and preservation of the living GullahGeechee heritage prevalent along the coast. Travelers can also visit Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation in Brunswick , and Sape lo Island 's Reynolds Mansion and Hog Hammock, a community where direct descendents of African slaves carry on cultural tradition s.

On Track
Train enthusiasts flock to the Folkston Funnel, the main artery for railroad traffic to and from Florida . A typical day sees more than 60 trains passing through the charming town of Folkston , with its restored depot and viewing platform comp lete with picnic tables and grills as well as fans , lights and scanners for listening in on traffic talk between engines. Savannah's Roundhouse Railroad Museum, once the home of the Central of Georgia, is the oldest and largest existing 19th -ce ntury railroad complex in the country. With nine historic structures, a growing collection of locomotives and rolling stock, and a huge model of Savannah and its miles of track, the museum uses its interactive exhibits to explain the history of engines and their rails. Across the street is the historic Central of Georgia passenger depot, now the Savannah Visitors Center, as well as two other railroad administration buildings now owned by Savannah College of Art and Design.

Georgia Clams with Garlic and Mint

1cup beer (your choice, but wheat beer is grea t wit h clams)
2 cloves garlic, sliced 1 pound Georgia clams Large handful of fresh mint

This is a delicious way to enjoy clams without a ton of fuss . In a large skillet or pot with a heavy lid, add beer and garlic, and heat on medium-high until st eaming . Add clams and cover with lid. The clams should pop open within just a few minutes, so continue checking on them and give the pan an occasional shake or stir. When they've popped open, serve them immediately with a healthy sprinkling of chopped mint on top. (Any clams that did not open are probably best discarded.) Enjoy the clams with some crusty bread. Leftovers can be eaten cold or tossed in a salad.

Tucked along Interstate 20 in the state's east-central region is an eclectic mix ofcharming antebellum homes, historic towns, meandering rivers, natural vistas and championship greens worthy ofexploration. With small-town ambiance and big-city attractions, Georgia's Classic South offers Southern hospitality at its finest and beckons visitors to enjoy its charms. classicsouth.org

Phinizy Swamp Nature Park, Augusta AUGUSTA eve

Wet and Wild
Seven state parks, tree-lined lakes, and plenty of local parks and recreation areas make it easy for the true outdoorsman to escape the rigors of city life. Ang lers are drawn to Clarks HIii Lake, the largest U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project east of the Mississippi, with 1,200 miles of shoreline straddling the Georgia-South Carolina border, and Lake Oconee, where largemouth bass are plentiful. In Thomson, largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish and channel catfish bite at the McDuffie Public Fishing Area , a confluence of
seven ponds ranging in size from S to 37 acres. The Ogeechee and Savan nah rivers are ideal spots for freshwater and, occasiona lly, saltwater fishing, as well as swimming , boating and other recreational activities. The Augusta Canal, part of the August a Canal National Heritage Area, was
built in 1845 to harness industrial power from the Savannah River. It's still used in the same capacity, but with added benefits, including scenic hiking and biking trails through the canal's towpaths, as well as guided tours aboard a replica canal cargo boat. Hear the roar of the Savan-
nah River while you watch the Augusta Southern National Drag Boat Races , held annually in July, or if you would rather just relax and take in the beauty of the river, climb aboard the Patriot, a 60-seat tour boat. The Ohoopee Dunes along the Ohoopee River near Swainsboro
are 20,000-year-old p rotected natural structures created by wind deposits of sand along Georgia's riverbanks. Take a stroll through one of nature's most magnificent natu ral ecosystems at Phlnlzy Swamp Nature Park, just minutes from downtown Augusta, or
meander down Augusta 's Rlverwalk, where history, shopping and seasonal events await.

Goodness Grows
With a temperate climate
frost, the Classic South region is ripe with some of the South 's best locally grown produce. Open year-round in a historic downtown building , the Washington Farmers Market is abuzz with an ever-changing stock of fruits, vegetables and local byproducts such as grass-fed beef, j ams, jell ies and preserves . Augusta's Saturday Market on Broad, open from April through August, is perfect for an afternoon stroll and perusal of fresh foods and assorted craft items.
With almost 500 plant varieties from which to choose, containers filled with colorful blooms and waxy-leafed plants are lovingly tended at Goodness Grows Nursery in Lexington, where experienced and novice gardeners can nurture their soil skills. Stained and sticky fingers are just part of the fun at family-owned and operated Byne Blueberry Farms in Waynesboro and Lucky Lady Pecans in Harlem . In Wrens, gourds of all shapes and sizes are ripe for picking at The Gourd Farm, or pick up some delectable candies and nuts at The Orchards Retail Store. For a true treat, head to Thomson and sink your teeth into one of Chlnaberry Foods' made-from-scratch creations, including scrumptious red velvet cakes, decadent chocolate layer cakes and, most prevalent of all , cheese straws . To cleanse the palate, sample one of Courson's Winery 's 14 different vintages, each with
a distinct, full-bod ied flavor and a hint of Southern sweetness. At Flat Creek Lodge in Swainsboro, the on-site dairy stocks the kitchen with cheeses
that melt in your mouth.

Take It Outside

The area's vast scenic trails include the Woodpecker Trail, which follows

GA Highway 121south from Augusta to Florida and is one of the first scenic

highways in the United States. The Bartram Trail winds through the region and

chronicles the path of 18th-century naturalist and explorer William Bartram,

who sought to record the region's plant and wildlife. Outdoor adventure

awaits at Flat Creek Lodge in Swainsboro, where the discerning sportsman

engages in hunting and fishing on a private woodland preserve before settling

down for a distinctive dining experience or luxurious spa treatment. For more

t han a cent ury, the Georgia Fleld Trlals have drawn spectators each January

to quaint Waynesboro, where sporting

dogs pursue bobwhite quail on historic

DI-Lane Plantation. On Lake Oconee, serious golfers flock to The Ritz-Carl ton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation; Reyn-

olds Landing; and Harbor Club for

award-winning and spectacularly designed courses. For something a little

off t he beaten green, try disc golf at WIidwood Park in Appling . Similar to

traditional golf, players instead use a flying disc, which they throw in hopes

of dropping it in the basket hundreds of feet away. The whole family will

enjoy Adventure Crossing in Evans, where speed demons rev their engines

on three outdoor go-kart tracks and flying aces spread their wings on Midway

rides , and don't miss LASERTRON , the ultimate laser tag experience.

More than a century has passed without anyone uncovering the lost treasure of the Confederacy. It was a late spring night in 1865 when two wagon trains filled with gold coins were robbed at Chennault Crossroads in Lincoln County. From that day forward , intrigue, legend and the desire to possess the last of the Confederate treasury have propelled visitors to present-day Lincolnton and Washington , where, it is rumored, the treasure is still buried . Today, the only tangible remain from the heist is the emp t y leather-and-i ron treasure chest, which resides in the historic Mary Willis Library in Washington . At Graves Mountain
in Lincolnton , future gemologists and mineral societies dig for some of the world's best specimens of rutile, lazulite and pyrophyllite, beautiful minerals that are easily translated into jewelry. In Washington , another form of entertainment visitors really dig is the Retro Cinema & Books, where independent films and documentaries take their places alongside a sophisticated wine bar. Another local treasure, the recently renovated Victorian-era Fitzpatrick Hotel , offers 17 beautifully appointed guest rooms and a lovely restaurant, Down Under.
To military buffs, Georgia is known primarily as a hotbed of Civil War history, but another significant series of battles was fought here during the Revolutionary War. The battlefield at Kettle Creek, the site of the most decisive Georgia victory during the war, is a large tract of land in Washington that pays homage to the participants with a monument and several markers erected on War Hill.

LOCAL FLAVOR

It 's amazing what you 'll find when you

tour the state looking for food. One

gem in the Classic South region is

an organic cheese dairy located just

outside of Swainsboro. Flat Creek

Lodge started off as a hunting and

fishing property, but it's evolved to

include fields of blueberries, raspber-

ries and proud herds of Jersey dairy

cows. Under the guidance of veteran

cheesemaker Dane Huebner, Flat Creek produces a selection of artisan cheeses ~!~~~r,~~rd at Flat Creek Lodge

that rival those found anywhere in the

world-in fact, they placed 12th in the 2008 World Cheese Cham-

pionship, the largest international cheese contest. You can find

Flat Creek 's cheeses in markets and shops statewide, but there 's

nothing like sampling the cheese at the lodge itself.

For homegrown goodness, the Classic South can satisfy your

cravings for peaches, peanuts and pecans. The many small family

farms in the area specialize in everything from greens to sweet

potatoes, offering a feast of fresh produce. Much of the land once

used for farming tobacco is experiencing a renaissance and being reborn with row after row of delicious fruits and vegetables.

If you 're traveling through the Classic South during strawberry season , stop in at Prescott's

Strawberry Farm near Wrens and savor the joy of sun-ripened, fresh-picked berries. You can also

load up on strawberry preserves, jelly, syrup and even strawberry cider.

Should you end up with more berries than you can eat, here's a simple way to enjoy them

before they get too ripe. In fact , this Lazy Fruit Cobbler is a great way to use lots of overripe

fruits . For a different flavor, you can m ix and match the berries, or even include fruits like peaches

and apples . The more the merrier!

Lazy Fruit
r
3 or 4 cups of berries or other fruit
1 cup buttermilk 1 cup all -purpose flour
(unbleached) 1 cup sugar
(preferably raw) 2 tablespoons butter,
cut into chips 2 tablespoons
brown sugar
Preheat oven to 350 F. Cover the bottom of a baking d ish with the fruit. Mi x together the buttermilk, flour and 1 cup sugar, and pour evenly over the berries. Di stribute the butter chips across the top of the mi x; sprinkle the whole thing with brown sugar. Bake for 45 m inutes and serve either hot or cold . (A good scoop of vanilla bean ice cream makes the recipe a little less lazy, but it 's worth the e f f o r t .)

Mistoric
Heartland
We've all heard the old adage imploring us to "walk a mile in my shoes," but as it pertains to Georgia's Historic H eartland, that mile is filled with breathtaking natural vistas, awe-inspiring art and antiques, and some of the most beautiful historic structures to grace the South. Add to that a vibrant music scene in one of the nation's most beloved college towns, and this central region is rife for discovery. historicgeorgia.com

Lake Sinclair, Milledgeville

Blazing a Trail
With such a rich and vibrant history, it's no wonder antiquing is almost a way of life in Georgia's heartland. Treasure hunters thrill to yesteryear's discoveries found along the Antebellum Trail, which stretches from Athens to Macon; Georgia's Antiques Trail , which meanders through 16 communities, including Athens, Watkinsville, Madison and Covington; and the Treasures Along 1-20 trail, which winds through such picturesque and charming locations as Social Circle, Conyers and Lake Oconee. Along the Peach Blossom Trail , visitors blaze a path south to discover why Georgia , with almost 1.6 million peach trees in the region , is one of the nation's largest annual producers of the fruit.
Hitting
a High Note
The sweet sounds of music can be heard across Georgia's heartland, especially at the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in Macon. Visitors discover a plethora of memorabilia in Tune Town, while children learn about music's diverse genres in the interactive Billy Watson Music Factory. In Athens, two musical powerhouses are the 40 Watt Club, a favorite venue of such homegrown rockers as R.E .M. and the Indigo Girls, and AthFest , an annual music and arts festival that showcases Athens' artistic roots. The Lake Oconee Music Festival had its beginnings in jazz, but has since broadened its scope to include blues and gospel.

Out and About
Browsing arts and crafts and indulging in fine festival fare are favorite pastimes in this part of Georgia. The third weekend of every September is the time to ex plore Barnesville Buggy Days, a celebration of a town that was the South's buggy capital in the late 1800s. The semiannual Mossy Creek Barnyard Festival, held near Perry and Warner Robins, takes a look back at the way things used to be, while Macon's Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates love, beauty and friendship in the "Cherry Blossom Capital of the World ." In Perry, the Georgia National Fair, a virtual whirlwind of traditional activities each October, is anchored by shows of horsemanship and agricultural prowess during its 11-day run . The peach reigns supreme at Byron and Fort Valley 's annual Georgia Peach Festival in June. The festivities include concerts, dancing and of some of the area's best peach confections-including the world 's largest peach cobbler.

Refreshing
Retreats
"Getting back to nature" ha s evolved into a modern-day mantra for many vacationers seeking rest and rela xation. With its antebellum home (now an event space); cozy Holloway Cottages; and naturebased retreats such as nearby Dauset Trails Nature Center and Indian Springs State Park, The Village at Indian Springs is a peaceful destination for weary souls . Similarly, historic Henderson Village in Perry offers resort-style amenities and services in a truly unique setting. Accommodations throughout the village, once the site of a bustling stagecoach community, are housed in 19th-century homes and cottages. Retreat to Conyers, where the Monastery of the Holy Spirit soothes the spirit and the soul. Home to the only Catholic order of silent, contemplative monks in the state , the monastery is slated to undergo an extensive expansion. For a different type of soul-searching, head to The Golf Club at Cuscowilla , a golf club and re sort perched on the banks of Lake Oconee.

Delightful Diversions
No trip through Georg ia's heartland is complete without a savory sampling of the region's tastiest establishments . In Athens, veritable institutions like Jittery Joe's Coffee and Terrapin Beer Co. are sure t o please any palate, while in Macon , Warner Robins and Fort Valley, Nu- Way Weiners puts a modern spin on the classic hot dog stand, w ith 11 locat ions serv ing the same secret- rec ipe chil idog s as they have since they opened in 1916. At The Whistle Stop Cafe in J uliette, where the blockbuster movie Fried Green Tomatoes was filmed, Southern-style vittles make up the menu. At Maison Bleu in Watk insville, haute cuis ine such as market bouillabaisse conjures the sights and sounds of La Provence in southern France. Sip fresh-sq ueezed lemonade wh ile rocking on the wide veranda, o r dig into some good o l' Southe rn-fried chicken at the Blue Willow Inn in Soc ial Circle's historic district . Afte r yo u d ive into dessert, stroll through the inn's newly created Blue Willow Village, where an early-20th-century town has been re-created , complete with a 19S0s-era soda fountain and shops featur ing Georg ia artisan s. For someth ing a b it m ore hands-on , stop by La ne Southern Orchards in Fort Va lley, where visito rs can pick their own strawberries and tour the peach and pecan orchards.

shorelines, to rustic retreats at the

Oconee Riverwalk, Bartram Forest

For the budding horticulturalist, a visit to The State Botanical Garden

Peach-and-Poblano Quesadilla
12 ounces pork tenderloin 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon ground coriander 2 peaches, pitted and sliced 1 poblano pepper Flour or corn tortillas 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Sea salt 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Preheat grill or grill pan on medium-high heat. Season pork tenderloin with cinnamon, cumin and coriander. Grill pork tenderloin until just cooked (8-10 minutes, depending on your heat and the thickness of the cut of pork). Grill peaches and pepper until just slightly charred and softened, then remove and chop roughly. You can leave in the seeds of the pepper or remove them for a milder flavor. Slice the pork and assemble the quesadillas by placing one tortilla on the bottom, spreading a thin layer of cheese, and then adding the pork, peaches, peppers, a pinch of sea salt, more cheese and , finally, another tortilla . When the cheese is nice and melted, cut the quesadilla into quarters and serve with salsa , or make a quick peach salsa from grilled peaches, onions, peppers and tomatoes. (Quesadillas are designed for customization, so feel free to experiment with your favorites .)

Today, the Colon ial-style home and grounds where t he p layfu l pooc h was buried are now owned by the Bank of Eastman, which recently erected a bronze monument in honor of Mister Angel.

Sublime Scenery
Winding south from the state's mountainous region to the coastal plains is Georgia's Heritage Highway 441 Trail , a byway that unveils historic gems, Southern plantations, unique shopping experiences and some of the most beautifu l scenery in the area. If you're heading to the coast from Georgia's heartland, hop on the Wiregrass Trail-or Georgia Highway 57, as it's also known-for a nostalgic trip through quiet country towns brimming with history. While it provides tranquil scenery and laid-back charm, the trail also shaves 42 miles off a drive that is otherwise interstate-only. The Woodpecker Trail , running along Highway 121 through the Magnolia Midlands , begins in North Carolina and stretches to Florida.

LOCAL FLAVOR

Georgia may well be the Peach State, but the Vidalia onion has

put Georgia on the world's culinary map. Regarded as one of the

best onions in the world , the Vidalia variety is grown throughout the

Magnolia Midlands, where low-sulfur soil creates an onion both mild and

sweet. Every spring, Vidal ia residents celebrate their famous crop at the

Vidalia Onion Festival with m usic, arts and crafts, and, of cou rse. a sweet-

onion cook-off competition . If you miss the festival , make a point of visit ing the region

during onion season. Stand ing in a sea of onions and meeting the proud people who

work so hard to bring them to our tables is an experience you won ' t soon forget.

And did you know Georgia produces the third-largest blueberry crop in the

nation? Places like Alma produce millions of pounds of huge, juicy, sweet berries every

year and ship them all over the world.

You 've not experienced blueberries until

you 've stood in the Magnolia Midlands

and plucked them straight from the

bush . Your teeth are guaranteed to be

blue before you leave.

This recipe combines three of

Georgia 's famous crops and is versatile

enough to use on just about anything.

Chutney is somewhat like jam , but typi-

cally includes not only sweet flavors but

salty, sour and sometimes spicy ones.

This is a great way to incorporate pro-

duce that may be passing its prime (over-

ripe fruits are excellent for this recipe)

or to utilize an abundant harves t. The

chutney keeps well when covered and

refrigerated for two to three weeks. Try it

on duck, pork, chicken, beef or venison. It

also makes a great sandwich spread.

Come immerse yourselfin the history, enjoy the legacies, and ride the waves of the region's diverse pleasures. georgiahighcountry.org

battles can still be discerned

at the 6th Cavalry Museum in

Fort. Oglethorpe. Situated on

the cavalry 's former parade grounds, the museum pays homage to the horse-riding soldiers who

served in the regiment. Witness a Civil

War reenactment, visit the museum, or follow a path leading to the historic 1850 Western and

Atlantic railroad tunnel entrance at Tunnel Hill Heritage Center. In Ringgold , site of the famous

Civil War Battle at Ringgold Gap, the Patrick Cleburne Society is raising money to erect a

bronze statue of the eponymous general at the site of his greatest victory. Chickamauga

and Chattanooga National Military Park commemorates one of the bloodiest battles of

the Civil War, where more than a quarter of the soldiers were killed, wounded or missing.

Pickett's Mill Battlefield Historic Site, where visitors can traverse the roads built by Con-

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National federate soldiers , is one of the best-preserved Civil War battlefields in the nation. MIiitary Park, Fort Oglethorpe

Legacy of the Land
Even before the Civil War swept through Georgia's
mountains and rolling hills, some of the state's earlier residents were engaged in a similar battle. Cherokee Indians settled in the area and created their capital city, a town they named New Echota, where they built a highly civilized settlement complete with a Supreme Court, printing office and town center. Fighting to keep their land, the Cherokees were eventually forced out by the U.S . government and made to take the long trek West on the Trail of Tears . At New Echota Historic Site, the Funk Heritage Center at Reinhardt College, Chief Vann House and Chieftains Museum/Major Ridge Home, visitors can see the intact remains of two significant Cherokee settlements and two Cherokee leaders' homes, respectively, all of which make up the Chieftains Trail. Whispers from the past can be heard at the Etowah Indian Mounds Historic Site in Cartersville. The impressive 63-foot, flat-topped earthen knoll is the centerpiece of the site, where Native Americans lived more than 500 years ago. Artifacts recovered from numerous excavations can be seen in the museum there.

Southern Style
The folks at eagle's Da iry Farm in Canton and Resaca know how to have a good time. In addition to farm favorites such as a petting zoo, pumpkin patch and vegetable garden, eagle 's is home to the world 's largest corn " MAiZE" and jumpy pillow. Get lost in the crop as you wind through 56 acres of soaring corn stalks, or test your acrobatic skills on the enormous jumpy pil low-"kids" of all ages will be a" maize"d at the fun they'll have. At Tanglewood Farm in Canton, there's a tiny b it of adventure awaiting visitors as they pass through the farm's 10-acre Wild West Town, complete with more than 100 miniature farm animals. Stay for the day or spend the weekend at Little River Farms in Resaca , where guests get up close and personal with a variety of farm friends, including goats, chickens and even a couple of bearded dragons. For a delicious diversion, stop by Panorama Orchards & Farm Market in Ellijay, where more than 20 varieties of apples-as well as peaches and fall vegetables-are their "core" attraction . Capturing the fruit 's essence, The Georgia Winery in Ringgold, the state's first farm winery, produces a number of award-winning reds, whites , blushes and even organic wines. At Sharp Mountain Vineyards in Jasper, the philosophy is that wine should be experienced , not merely tasted . To create this heady mood , owners Ron and Jan Rathgeb lovingly plant, tend and harvest every crop, ensuring perfection.

Rail Tales
Things move a little slower in Bremen at the Rocky Branch Railroad and Old West Town, a historic 19thcentury town full of spunk and lore. Take a ride on the "iron horse" or take a load off in the town 's saloonbut beware of gunslingers, or you might just find yourself in t he middle of a showdown. All aboard the Blue Ridge Scenic Rail way, which takes passengers on a 26-mile roundtrip through the Blue Ridge Mountains in vintage climate-controlled or openair railcars. The four-hour trek, which passes through quaint towns and beautiful vistas, allows passengers enough time at each stop for shopping , eating and sightseeing .
Official Georgia Travel Guid

Kickin' Back Country Style
Looking for some good ol' Southern fun? Check out Pickin' in the Park in McCaysville and Summerville, where acoustic musicians gather weekly for an old-fashioned jam session. For a bit of nostalgia, motor on over to the Wilderness Outdoor Movie Theater in Trenton or the Swan Drive-In Theatre in Blue Ridge for first-run films . However, be warned: These throwbacks to the 1950s don't accept plastic. Since 1935, signs all over the South have beckoned travelers to "See Rock City." This simple phrase leads visitors to a stunning world of rock creations, where cascading waterfalls and breathtaking gardens are only some of the draws.

Museum Savvy
Head out West without leaving the state at the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Georgia's secondlargest museum featuring contemporary Western art, movie posters and illustrations, as well as Civil War art and presidential portraits and letters. Also in Cartersville, Tellus: Northwest Georgia Science Museum features galleries devoted to m inerals, fossils and hands-on science experiments . In Rome , education and history meet at Oak Hill and The Martha Berry Museum. The former residence of Martha Berry, found er of Berry College, Oak Hill is a beautifully preserved Greek Revival home that tells the story of the woman who brought education in the early 1900s to the economically challenged children of the rural South.

LOCAL FLAVOR

While the mountains of the Historic High Country offer

a recreational reprise for many folks, their cornucopia

of edible treasures makes them a food lover's dream .

Wild ramps (a potent , native garlic), chanterelle and

morel mushrooms, and endless brambles of blackber-

ries grow in abundance . And if you keep your eyes

open, you can find age-old, fruit-studded muscadine

vines growing wild amid beautiful, untamed scenery.

The chilly rivers that sport kayaks on white-capped

waters are also home to some of the best-tasting trout to have landed in a skillet.

A springtime drive through the High

Country, its hills aglow with white apple-tree

blossoms, is a sight to behold. In the fall , those

same branches bend under the weight of

crisp fruits ripe for the plucking. In places like

Ellijay and Blue Ridge, family farms offer the

best of these local fruits , as well as preserves ,

cider and everyone's favorite: fried apple pies.

These farms usually sell more than apples;

look around and you can find everything from

local produce to stone-ground grits and fresh,

locally baked goods.

Bavarian Brouhaha
Resembling an old-world alpine village in Appalachia, Helen's quaint shops and kitschy souvenirs lure collectors from near and far. Those not inclined to shop enjoy the sights from a tube on the Chattahoochee River, which flows right through town . Fall is a great time to visit Helen, with its highly anticipated Oktoberfest celebrations, and Halloween thrills and chills can be experienced at Haunted Helen, a spooky warehouse open year-round . Nearby Nacoochee Village offers an interesting collection of boutiques and galleries for serious shoppers, as well as great dining and wine-tasting experiences at the Nacoochee Grill and Habersham Winery. While in o ld-world Bavaria, other attractions include horseback riding , fly-fishing and the Sautee Nacoochee Indian Mound.

Talk of the Town
Gazing out from Brasstown Bald, Georgia's highest peak, visitors not only catch a glimpse of four states-Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina-but also witness the state's only "cloud forest ." Outside Elberton lie huge granite slabs, similar to those of England 's Stonehenge, called the Georgia Guidestones. This strange arrangement of stone instructs humanity on restoring society after a nuclear disaster. Experience the spectacular sights of Tallulah Gorge and its five magnificent falls with an easy walk along the North Rim Trail. At the park's Jane Hurt Yarn Interpretive Center, outdoor enthusiasts learn about the history of the park 's amazing geological formations. Celebrating more than 25 years of successful adoptions, Xavier Roberts' world -renowned Cabbage Patch Kids and Babyland General Hospital in Cleveland still attract scores of visitors, allowing them a behind-the-scenes peek into the world of these whimsical bundles of joy. Ty Cobb ("The Georgia Peach") and Johnny Mize ("The Big Cat") are commemorated at the Ty Cobb Museum in Royston and the Johnny Mize Athletic Center and Museum in Demorest.

11/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 whole eggs, beaten 2/ 3 cup water 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt 1cup cooked sweet potato, peeled
and mashed 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
In a large bowl, combine flour, white pepper, nutmeg and salt. Form a well in the center of the flour mixture and add eggs. Slowly combine eggs and flour by bringing in the sid es of the well. Add water as t he dough thickens. You may use more or less water depending on your type of flour, but the resulting dough should have the consistency of a thick paste. Add mashed sweet potato to the mix, combining thoroughly. Spoon the dough onto a wet cutting board , and w ith a long kn ife, "cut" the dough into the boiling water in strips and let boil for 3-4 minutes. After cooking, strain spaetzle into an ice bath to halt the cooking process. Drain spaetzle thoroughly. To serve, saute in the but ter or oil until the edges just start to brown . Try adding a little fresh sage, chopped ham, and fres hl y grated Parmesan ch eese to turn this unique side dish into a fanta stic stand-alone meal.

to learn about the latest advances in farming technology. This annual event, which draws

1,200 exhibitors, also features a working farm where visitors can wi tness field demonstra-

Painting the Town

Mill town Murals, Lakeland
2003 CONNELL STUDIOS

Life in early Lakeland is readily visible amid the town's 25 larger-than-life- size murals . Depicting scenes from its past , when the "city of murals " was known as Milltown, the artistic creations date to life in 1925, when the town officially changed its name to Lakeland. Most of the murals are located within a five-block radius, making an afternoon "art stroll " a tempting possibility. In Colq uitt , 12 murals (with three more in the works) stand as testament to community inspiration . Depicted on the walls of th e local high school and several other downtown buildings, these unique works of art moved area legislators to designate Colquitt as "Georgia's First Mural City. "

T.
With farmland aplenty, t he state's southern region is ripe with some of Georgia's freshest fare . Be sure to visit Calhoun Pro duce, which has three locations in South Georgia. From locally grown beans, peas and fruit to fresh ly sealed jams, jellies and sauces, nothing tastes quite as sweet as homegrown produce. In Sasser, as you head down Highway 82 you 'll see the signs for Mark's Melon Patch , a roadside staple in the region. Throughout the year, Mark offers the freshest seasonal crops, such as sweet corn , watermelons, cantaloupes, pumpkins and, of course, Georgia peanuts. For out-of-towners, he offers convenient mail order for all his seasonal produce. Peaches, Georgia's state fruit, are a labor of love at Luck & Moody Peaches in Barney and Lawson Peaches in Morven .
At Sweet Grass Dairy, a wide variety of cow cheese and goat cheese-from Asher Blue and Mediterranean feta to Georgia pecan chevre and Lumiere-is produced on this 140-acre, family-owned farm in Thomasville. To complement the savory taste and textu re , be sure to visit Still Pond Vineyard & Wi nery in Arlington , which grows and produces 11 types of muscadine wine. Visitors sample aptly named varieties such as Plantation White and Confederate Peach, and can tour the vineyards and processing facilities. At White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, five generations of farmers have raised cattle to produce the finest grass-fed beef in the area. Tours of the farm, which relies on sun , soil, rain and grass to nurture its li vestock, can be arranged in advance.

Whether you call them "puh-

KAHNs" or "PEE-kans," they're

agricultural icons of Georgia. Driving

through the Plantation Trace region,

you'll notice pecan trees standing

in magnificent rows as far as you

can see. There's something majestic

about them, something that speaks

of the state's agricultural strength.

And from a culinary perspective,

pecans are deliciously versatile,

whether smothered in caramel or

served with quail or trout.

If you like cheese, you owe it to

yourself to visit the family-owned

and operated Sweet Grass Dairy in

Thomasville. The variety and quality of cow and goat cheeses make it a cheese lover's paradise. The

Blue CheeM, Thomasville
HANS RUIFFERT

transformation of milk into something as rich and robust as cheese is

almost alchemic, and you can delight in knowing that this world-class

cheese comes from Georgia.

Cheese and pecans do well together, one playing off the earthy

tones of the other. This recipe uses the buttery Green Hill cheese from

Sweet Grass, but feel free to substitute it with your favorite variety.

{Or if you're feeling lazy, crumble some toasted pecans on a hunk of

cheese and dig in with crackers.)

Explorations In Antiquity Center, LaGrange
EXPLORATIONS IN ANTIQUITY CENTER
Historical Happening
Secrets of the ancient past are revealed at the Explorations in Antiquity Center in LaGrange, a living mu seum of life in ancient times. Kids of all ages explore burial tombs , curl up in a nomadic sheph erd 's goat-hair tent, or dig for ancient remains in one of four replica arch eological sites. As v isitors walk through a re- created village and pause at the city gate, they begin to discover how ancient civilizations lived and survived without modern conven iences. For even more ancient interaction, dine in one of the Bibl ical Meal Rooms, which reinterpret breaking of the bread at a traditional first-century supper.
Head due south to experience life in the more recent past in Westville, a living-history museum chronicl ing life in rural 1850s Georgia . With more than 30 refurbished pre- Civil War buildings composing the village, visitors can stroll through the town 's homes, stores, churches, schools and workshops for an intimate look at this bustling town . All year long there is a flurry of activity in the village, with seasonal festivals, plantings and entertai nment.

Honorable M ntion
This spring, the National Infantry Museum & Sol dier Center at Patriot Park opens in Co lumbus to honor the men and women who serve and have served in our nation's infantry. Home to Fort Benning, the army 's headquarte rs for the U.S. Army Infantry School, Columbus has a long and proud connection with this particular branch of service. The 190,000-square -foot museum and 200-acre park will include dozens of monuments, a parade field, a Memorial Wa lk of Honor, an IMAX theater and a World War II street, where visitors can step back in time to the 1940s to see how soldiers from this era lived and worked. Along the street, visitors can browse seven World War II buildings, including a chapel, barracks,
supply room, orderly room , m ess hal l, and the headquarters and sleeping quarters used by Gen . George S. Patton before his deployment to North Africa.

Acting Out
Return to a time when life was simpler and entertainment was nothing less than grand at the Springer Opera House in Columbus. Splendidly restored to its original late-19th-century grandeur, this grand dame of theatrical performances once hosted such greats as Will Rogers, Ethel Barrymore and even Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Springer, named after Francis Joseph Springer, an imm igrant from Alsace , France, who moved to Columbus before the Civil War, is home to one of the country's leading theater companies. The Springer has a main stage series , a second-space series called Series II , and an Academy Series that features some of the region's most talented student actors. Complementing its in-house professionals, the Springer, which is the official state theater of Georgia, also hosts a national touring program called Springer Theatricals and a training school, Springer Theatre Academy, for budding actors.
Yellow Watermelonand-Tomato Salad
4 cups yellow watermelon, chunked and seeded
4 cups heirloom tomatoes (any color works, but yellows look great), cored and chunked
1 medium jicama, peeled and diced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Pinch of sea salt

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to let the flavors combine. Add a splash of white balsamic vinegar, if you 're so inclined. Leftovers can be quickly pureed to make a delicious watermelon-tomato gazpacho.

MARTA (Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority)
If you wi ll be stayi ng in t he At lanta area. the city 's transit system can save you t ime and money. The train system goes across the cit y, north, south. east and west. Bus service is also available. You can find more information about MARTA and its routes and stations on itsmarta.com.
TAXIS
Ta xis are easily obtained at the Atlanta airport and at most hotels. If you are in the Atlanta area, restaurants and hotels can call a cab for you. Otherwise, keep a taxi cab's p hone number with you at all times. The cab companies vary by area. so these phone numbers are best obtained at your hotel.
DRIVING
The speed limit in most residential areas is 35 mph; on most interstates and highways it is 55 mph-but make sure to look for speed limit signs in t he area in which you're driving. Always make sure your seat belt is buckled, because in Georgia it is against the law to drive without a seat belt. Georgia laws also require drivers to turn on their lights when driving in the rain.
