Sunday morning, before Kaitlyn & Skip's wedding, we drove for about
ten minutes to visit the Amicalola waterfall which is the highest in
this part of America and most spectacular. Here we met up with Linda's
High School friend Jane
and Jane's husband Gary (see photo), as well as Linda's twin sister
Lois and Lois's husband Cliff (who took the photo). |

Monday 7th. We drove into Dahlonega which is one of
the original gold mining towns. First we visited the Dahlonega General
Store which had the most amazing collection of goods for sale. |
|
| Then we visited the first of the two gold mining
exhibitions where we were taught how to pan for gold, before being
taken on a wagon ride round the grounds. |
 |
|
 |
After lunch we visited the other gold-mining
exhibition, and were taken right
down underground before returning to have another go at panning for
gold. With our earlier practice we were more successful and all
managed to come away with a few tiny grains of pure gold. |
