The setting for this particular story is the Toccoa River which runs through the Blue Ridge mountains. These mountains along with the Smokey mountain range are known to be the oldest mountains in the US. Georgia, I discovered besides being known as the Peach State has a multitude of outdoor recreational opportunities, a wide array of available lodging, excellent camping in national forests, an incredible and easy access to the mountains and the most gracious and hospitable people that I have ever met in this country.
Getting back to the restaurant...! It is located on the river and has some of the best fresh fish available, especially where trout is concerned. If you're ever down here- try the trout which can be prepared in a multitude of ways and remember to bring your own bottle of wine or beer as this is a BYOB. This particular evening the trout and salad was accompanied by a Zinfandel from Ridge. There is usually a local band performing bluegrass music aptly suited to the rustic country decor of the restaurant. You can also admire the scenic view of the area sitting on the deck which overlooks the river or just lie next to the riverbank and watch people go down river tubing or rafting -which of course was part of my range of recreational activities during my stay for the next few days here.
