We headed east (actually north) on Rt. 72 to I-24 East.02 - 72 east (north) to I-24 East to Chattanogga
 

 
Rt. 72 is a wonderful highway that took us back into Tennessee. 03 - 72 east (north) back in Tennessee

 
 
We stopped for gas at Exit 155 on I-24 for Gas and Diesel… great prices!!04 - I-24, exit 155 easy Diesel & Gas BP - Cheapest so far

 
 
We picked up I-75 South in Chattanooga, TN and traveled about 30 miles south.05 - Back in Georgia and Eastern Time Zone, I-75

WOO HOO… we’re finally back in Eastern Standard Time!!

 
Shortly after crossing the Georgia border,

 
we picked up Rt 76 and followed it all the way to Blairsville.

 

 
It was a beautiful ride into the mountains!06 - Rt 515-Rt76 into Blairsville, Georgia Mountains

    Beautiful! I've actually had their site bookmarked ever since they bought it :) I figured we'd get to that area eventually and we'd need a nice place to stay! Looks like the perfect place to "camp" out for awhile :)

    WOW what a gas price!! Don't come west it's in the $3.80's. I'm looking forward to being back on Eastern time too. Can't call anyone, it's too late. Those are really beautiful sites. Seriously up scale camping. Sounds like a great investment they made. Anxious to hear all about your hiking there.
