Starting Location - Louisville, KY
Ending Location - Dawsonville, GA
My daughter Emily, Justin, and I left Louisville with the intention of driving to Amicalola Falls State Park. The Appalchian Trail ApproachTrail is in the park.
Well things don't always go as planned. Emily overslept and I kept finding more and more loose ends to tie up. As a result we didn't leave Louisville till after 2:00 instead of the 10:30 start we planned.
It rained heavily during most of our drive down I-65. and visibility was poor. Traffic was heavy and slow moving in spots. Consequently we didn't get to the Amicalola area till after 11::00 pm. As a result we decided not to try to camp and are staying at a Best Western in Dawsonville.
There was a bright spot. We did stop for dinner and had great cheap eats. We stopped at Emma's Family Restaurant where the 3 of us had all we wanted to eat for $15.00 including tip. No it wasn't all you can eat but the servings were large, good, and inexpensive. A true welcome to the real South.
