My wife wanted to see the balloons take off from Helen, GA this past fri/sat but the bad weather kept them down.

Got some sightseeing in though.

Stopped at a roadside flea mkt. They were selling bbq sauce.

Major boil pnuts going. There was also a Harley Davidson rally in town.

Horns 4 sale at the flea mkt.

Stopped in at the flour mill too.

The mill is still water driven.

I was to full of boil pnuts to even want any of these :o

I did get a 5lb sack of this though.

Back in Helen at the HD rally.

On the way to Homer, GA we stopped to ~~get chit faced~~ I mean do some wine tasting :o

I used to hunt and fish in the Helen area before Helen became a tourist trap.

That Mill and Millpond brings back some beautiful memories from where I grew up in Tennessee. The best cornbread I have ever had was made from stone ground cornmeal done at a mill like that. Great pic's.

Really? I tried some once and thought it was a terrible waste of peanuts. Maybe I just got some bad ones.
