Kari and I decided last weekend to fly over the mountains of north Georgia just to take in the local scenery. It didn't hurt that it was the beginning of November and the leaves were really doing their thing. We mounted up:
and settled in to enjoy the scenery. Looking south and east from Dahlonega's Wimpy Airport (9A0) we knew we were in for a beautiful flight. The visibility was unrestricted and even to the south the colors seemed to be coming out.
We are lucky here in north Georgia to have several vineyards and wineries that actually produce good wines. It's a treat to be able to enjoy them from the air too!.. Not the wine, the views they provide.
This is Frogtown Vineyards.
located about 5 mile northeast of Dahlonega. We kept going north and the colors kept getting better. The elevation rises gradually towards Tennessee and western North Carolina and the colors were just about to peak.
We don't get the vivid reds of the northeast since we have fewer maple trees but they are still beautiful. It's "the ol', photo's don't do them justice."
