Fast cars, moonshine, and the hills of the Ga mountains all led to legendary makers of moonshine. Once hidden during prohibition, there's one in plain sight now - Grandpappy Mimms. It's not far from our beautiful lake home, which is a great place to get some 'shine and sip it on the porch. www.bit.ly/hiawassee Visit to see the feast for your soul.

In the mountain ranges straddling Georgia and North Carolina sits a vista that at one time in its history took a good heart, plus either strong legs or a horse, or a four-wheel drive to get to the top. Bell Mountain has quite a past and today it serves as one of the most beautiful scenic vistas in Georgia, with 360-degree views across the stunning Lake Chatuge and the rolling hills and highest elevations.

Getting a clear view of the night sky is harder and harder these days due to light pollution. In fact, some locations are marketing themselves these days as a special kind of dark. But one of my favorites is in Hiawassee Georgia at the top of Bell Mountain. My brother, Bill, took this shot one night. Come and stay with us and see it for yourself: Lakefront Mountain Suite.

I didn't even realize there were some real moonshine distilleries still around. Have you taken the tour at Grandpappy Mimms? Seems a bit dangerous compared to a wine tour..lol
Yes, we've visited and while there's not a large "tour" the bar is big and the tastings are fun. You'll leave with recipes too. The moonshine margarita is a popular one!
