(Started the day off at the outlet malls in Commerce, GA...but it was too pretty a day for shopping. I had no focus. Put the top back on the Jeep and went for a drive.)
Toccoa Falls
This was the first place I went to with CSO at Auburn. Had to return to see if it was still there and beautiful. It's an easy stroll up a wide gravel path("100 yards"). Nothing to it at all to get to the falls. "Cherokee word Toccoah means "beautiful"."
Located in Toccoa, GA in the campus of a little college. It's a 186 ft high waterfall, and as you can see flowing pretty well despite the drout in these parts.
Apparently..."Toccoa Falls is the site of the earthen dam which broke on November 6, 1977. Thirty-nine people lost their lives during that tragic event." Wiped out part of the college.
That sucks. Looked up on-line, now no dam so won't happen again. Still pretty place...
