Atlanta
Motor Speedway
I enjoy motor racing. Although I grew up in Michigan where
open-wheel racing was popular (I have been to the Indy 500 about 30
times!), I have learned to enjoy NASCAR. And, one of the best tracks
is the
Atlanta
Motor Speedway. But, I will have to admit, the best race I have
ever seen there was a 200-mile Indy Car race!
Chief Vann House
The Chief Vann House is noted as being the "Showplace of the
Cherokee Nation." It is decorated with beautiful Cherokee hand
carvings done in natural hues of blue, red, green, and yellow. Try and
fit this into your plans when visiting North Georgia. 82 Georgia Highway

Braselton
Road Atlanta
I love automobile racing, especially road racing and Road Atlanta is one of the
best around.
Road Atlanta became a part of the Panoz Motor Sports Group when
they purchased the property in 1996, Since that time, Don Panoz has made many
improvements at the track. There are many great events during the year that
include the Petit Le Mans, AMA superbike races, and some interesting historic
car races including the Mitty Challenge. You can also enjoy SCCA racing events
and much more. I enjoy spending the entire weekend at the track camping out in
the infield. For information about Road Atlanta (including a current schedule of
events and ticket information) you can contact the track a 1.800.849.RACE or
visit www.roadatlanta.com. The track is
a little less than 50 miles east of Atlanta off of I-85. Take I-85 east to Exit
129, go west on GA 53 about 5 miles to the entrance on the left. Road Atlanta,
5300 Winder Highway, Braselton, GA 30517.
Cumberland
Island
Forests so quiet that you can hear yourself breathe,
sunlight filtered and diffused through overarching trees and vines, sounds of
small animals scurrying in the underbrush, the gentle splash of water moving
through the salt marsh, the courting bellow of the alligator, blinding light on
water and sand as you emerge from the shadows of the live oak forest, a standing
row of slave cabin chimneys, fallow gardens, and crumbling walls of mansions
from bygone eras. This is Cumberland Island, Georgia's largest and southernmost
barrier island and today a national seashore.

U.S. OPEN STOCK DOG CHAMPIONSHIP & FARM FESTIVAL
| This is normally held the first week in October is an event that I look forward to each year. The U.S. Open Stock Dog Championship is one of the largest dog trial events in the nation. At the trials you will enjoy watching the dogs as these trials test the everyday working skills of all breeds of working stock dogs. Each year, judges are brought to the event from the British Isles to officiate and score. |

HCC is charged with the responsibility of promoting tourism and historic
preservation throughout this river corridor. In 1978 the Georgia General
