Fall Leaves - Unpredictable Beauty

The Gainesville Times consulted with Anthony Lampros of Rabun County about fall foilage, concluding that peak leaf season is unpredictable, but also remarking on the constant attraction of Rabun County's mountains: "Nature is resilient, and so are
the people who visit Black Rock Mountain, Georgia's highest state park. 'We actually had our busiest summer ever this year, and we're expecting
a very busy fall,' Lampros said."

• "They gave us generous pours in real wine glasses, made of real glass, in a simple but roomy tasting room permeated, as it should be, with the aroma of the wines and the oak casks that lined the walls."

Lowcountry Discovers Rabun County (and can't get enough!)

Lowcountry Living Magazine:

"When Lowcountry folk head to the hills for the leaf season, North Georgia may not be the first region to appear on our mental radar. But just five hours northwest of Charleston, where the Blue Ridge Mountains dip southward into the converging corners of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, is a geographical gem: Rabun County. Threaded together by a rolling patchwork of nine small towns – Dillard, Sky Valley, Rabun Gap, Mountain City, Clayton, Tiger, Wiley, Lakemont, and Tallulah Falls – Rabun County has more surprises than you might expect out of somewhere so rural.
