A long weekend in Georgia and North Carolina... Over the Columbus Day weekend, weather was not the best but we wanted to see the leaves change in the mountains. The Blue Ridge Scenic Railway offers an up-and-back train ride from Blue Ridge, Georgia into Copperhill, Tennessee along the Toccoa River.
But first...
Mercier Orchard
A stop at the tourist trap orchard for a "few" apple things, cider, hard cider, donuts... etc.. Kinda along the way, but just enough time to make us run to catch the train.
Tourist trap? not too much although it was a bit busy. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but "those people up front leave too"... and after a short visit to a number of what used to be barn buildings, we make our selections and headed to Blue Ridge to catch the train.
