Even though the day dawned with black clouds hanging over us, we were determined to get on the road. This valley near Choestoe, caught our eye as we explore the scenic byways through the Georgia mountains on highways 348, 180, and 17. These are considered some of the best roads for motorcycling in our country. We were very fortunate to travel them today. We also spent some time exploring Helen, Georgia.
I am constantly trying to find ways to help you get the feel of riding on these great roads on a motorcycle. That's Sid's hand on the handlebar of the bike. I held the camera near his knee close to the road's surface. You can't feel the speed or the tilt of the bike as it hugs the road in the curves, but you can get the view.
Incredible view from Brasstown Bald, the highest peak in Georgia at 4784 feet. Storm clouds are threatening to cover the peak with rain!
After our ride to the highest mountain in Georgia, we have a late lunch at the Troll Restaurant, located under the bridge over the Chattahoochee River in Helen, Georgia. We sampled the German food and took a walk along the river before doing a little shopping at the Chattahoochee Biker Gear shop on Main Street.
We take a walk along the Chattahoochee River in Helen, Georgia. That's the International Cafe on the left and Rick's Restaurant in the center. This village is such a surprise. They hosted the Winefest last weekend and are preparing for the Hot Air Balloon races in June!
We took a walk around the village and found this pasture next to the
Alpine Antique Auto and Buggy Museum - one of the entertainment options in Helen, Georgia. This pretty horse came right over to the fence for a greeting from Sid and a big sniff of my camera. Perhaps she thought we had carrots on us.
