Blue Ridge Georgia Area Attractions

Blue Ridge,Georgia, located in the far north of the state, is a wonderful weekend or week long escape. Blue Ridge is a quaint little town that is close to many outdoor attractions for young and old alike.

For the fisherman,there is Blue Ridge Lake, the Toccoa River, Rock Creek, Coopers Creek, Fightingtown Creek along with many other trout streams, ponds, and watershed lakes that are within an hours drive of Blue Ridge.

Blue Ridge Lake also provides an ample amount of water for boating, skiing, jet skis and swimming.
The Toccoa River that feeds Blue Ridge Lake is excellent for tubing and canoeing. There are tubing outfitters on the river who provide tubes and shuttle services for tubers. One of my favorites is Johnny Stephens, who has a place right across Shallowford Bridge on Aska Road. Johnny rents inner tubes and also drops tubers off at the canoe launch site Sandy Bottoms.

 Other notable attractions in the Blue Ridge area include,  the Swan Drive-in, bowling, numerous hiking and biking trails,  the Ocoee River,  the Blue Ridge Train, mini-Golf and gem mining,  the downtown district and access to the beautiful North Georgia mountains.

Additionaly, not far from Blue Ridge are the twin cities of McCaysville, Ga and Copperhill Tennessee. The Toccoa River runs right through these towns, the train in Blue Ridge takes visitors down a scenic route alongside the Toccoa to the Twin Cities. Tubing and fishing  is also availiable for this part of the Toccoa that flows down from the Blue Ridge Lake.

Fulfilled Prohecy

I see the fullfillment of Jesus' words as I read this passage. Here I am half way around the globe, living in a different culture reading about a Jewish womam pouring perfume on Jewish man prior to His crucifixion 2000 years after the fact. Jesus spoke the truth, He is the truth, the way and the life. Know Him!

in reference to:

"Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me. 11"For you always have (M)the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. 12"For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it (N)to prepare Me for burial. 13"Truly I say to you, (O)wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.""

He Just Don't Get It

It seems that Obama just don't get it, we need to delve into the oil here in America and off our shores. Why can't he understand that if we would use the oil here in USA, we would not be held hostage to OPEC nations. Maybe, he dosen't care, maybe not allowing us to tap into our own resources is a way to push the green agenda.
