11/1/08 - A beautiful day exploring the fall colors

First we headed to Clayton, GA and Black Rock State Park. The hillsides were dressed in magnificent shades of yellow, orange and red. Next we drove by Persimmon Vineyard and Lake Burton on our way to Brasstown Bald. We then headed towards Mountain Crossings @ Walasi-Yi and then a stop at Vogel State Park before heading home. It was a fantastic day.
