Well, no riding today - as much as I wanted to. Instead, we "took it easy." The plan was to have lunch at Hoffer's, a wonderful Bavarian breakfast and lunch restaurant in Helen (the couple with the kid in the photo apparently thought I wanted a picture of him (ego maniac!).
After lunch we went 'tubing" on the Chattahoochee. We were two of literally hundreds of people floating down the river. It felt like Martin Downs Blvd. at 4:30 pm!
Nonetheless, we did the "two hour drift." After an hour, we finally figured out how to make the tubes move where we wanted them to. there are a few minor rapids on the river that provide some thrills (and a good dousing!).
We made it successfully and then headed to our favorite evening hangout - "Viele Margaritas" for a well earned cocktail, and a chance to watch others navigate a particularly interesting set of rapids - one can get hung up on the rocks for quite a while here.
From there it was back to Creekwood to get the coach and the bike ready to depart tomorrow for RV World of Georgia for the wiper blade, and then on to Lake Toxaway in North Carolina. We have thoroughly enjoyed the Helen area and plan to return - maybe eve drift the Chattahoochee again!
Until tomorrow.
Cheers
John, Suz and Dixie the Wonderdog!
