September 12, 2009.  Today was a 215 mile trip with 9 bikes up to Lake Rabun to eat at Louie's On The Lake restaurant.  Janis stayed home to get some important shopping done. We took the long way up there on a bunch of backroads.  So many backroads it took 4 hours to get there but only 90 minutes to get home.

Leaving McDonalds parking lot at 9:30

Our first stop for a break in Helen

The next break at Popcorn Overlook on highway 76.

Stopped for a break at the Kilby house.

The next few pictures are of this house.

The barn.

Not exactly running water.

Around back.  I think that electric meter was added since 1898.

No worries about traffic while we checked out the Kilby house.   Didn't see one car.

A climbing wall at Camp Ramah Darom across the street from the Kilby house on Patterson Gap Road.  

Lunch at Louie's then Wayne and I left the group and took the 90 minute direct route home.
