North Georgia Mountains
Hey y'all.
This is Bryant again, with a video from the scenic North Georgia Mountains. The North Georgia Mountain region is located in northeast Georgia and is apart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which extend up into southern Pennsylvania. The counties in northeast Georgia are Banks, Dawson, Elbert, Fannin, Forsyth, Franklin, Gilmer, Habersham, Hall, Hart, Lumpkin, Pickens, Rabun, Stephens, Union, Towns and White.
This video follows U.S. 23/441 through the North Georgia Mountains, starting in Baldwin, showing the S.R. 384 West/Duncan Bridge Road intersection (Helen/Unicoi State Park/Downtown Baldwin), the S.R. 15 Connector/To U.S. 441 South interchange (Habersham County Airport/Downtown Baldwin/Cornelia/Commerce/Athens) and the U.S. 441 Business/S.R. 105/385 North interchange (Cornelia/Demorest/Clarkesville).
The second clip shows the U.S. 123 North/S.R. 365 North interchange, for Toccoa and Lavonia, and the S.R. 17 intersection (Clarkesville/Toccoa/Lavonia).
The last portion of the video follows U.S. 23/441/S.R. 15 through Tallulah Falls, the outskirts of Tiger, Clayton, Mountain City, Rabun Gap and Dillard.

Great Smoky Mountains - Pt. 2
Hey y'all!
This is Bryant again, with another installment of "Great Smoky Mountains." The Smokies are a subrange of the Appalacian Mountains, and are located in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. This range is home to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Qualla Boundary (Home of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, located in Jackson, Swain, Graham, Cherokee and Haywood counties, North Carolina), Gatlinburg, Tennesse, Sevierville, Tennessee and Dollywood, owned by singer Dolly Parton and the Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation.
This video -- that I hope that you'll watch, because it's a very good video, if I do say so myself -- is of the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway, which runs from I-40 near Canton, North Carolina to the Nantahala National Forest, in southwestern Swain County.
The YouTube video posted is of the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway between Sylva Road (U.S. 23/441) and exit 74 (U.S. 441 North - Gatlinburg/Great Smoky Mountains National Park/To Blue Ridge Parkway).

Great Smoky Mountains - Pt. 1
Hey y'all,
I know I haven't posted in awhile, save for my other post about the theft of Christmas paraphernalia from an East Point Chick-fil-A restaurant. In this post, you'll see me driving along Sylva Road (U.S. 23/64/64 Truck/441), from Franklin and Dillsboro. This is my first time driving through this terrain, in North Carolina. I have been to Gatlinburg, but that was back before I began roadgeeking and back before I was driving long distances, out of town.
U.S. 64 east of U.S. 23/441 cannot be accessed by large trucks, due to the terrain of the highway: it's a winding two-lane road towards Highlands.
There will be a few other videos posted from the Smokies and maybe a couple from the North Georgia Mountains. I already have one on published from the North Georgia Mountains. Gotta get the other one done.
Enjoy!

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
Recently, a "grinch" stole Christmas decorations from the Chick-fil-A on Cleveland Avenue, in East Point (GA). These decorations were celebrating the "twelve days of Christmas." It's sad when one can't even decorate their own business, without theft of those decorations. Whoever you are, the three words that best describe you are, and I quote -- "Stink. Stank. Stunk."
