Been there many, many times before but would like the names of some local fare restaurants, fun things to do. I'm into hiking and photography so I'd like to hit some scenic trails. Thanks!
Five day K-town vacation for UGA
1. Spend first three days at The Katch One.
2. Stop by the campus & take a photo of our crystal football. This is the best opportunity you will ever have to see one.
3. Go to Cades Cove, park car, strip off all clothes except shoes, and hike deep deep deep into the forest. Running from the black bears is always exciting in mid-February.
I'll be sure to take a feather duster when I photograph the crystal football. Bound to be a little sooty by now. And I'll make you several copies of the photos that you can keep in safe storeage as it's bound to be awhile until you win another one. I'll leave Katch One and the black bears to you. Sounds like you have an intimate relationship with 'em. :thumbsup:
Nah man, we gonna have us a second one of them crystal footballs by this time next year.
Tell the girls are the Katch that Jackson sends his love.
Hope you get to see a bear...it can be a grizzly experience
Naples is the best Italian restaurant in town. NAMA is the best sushi spot in town. Ye Olde Steak House is the best steak house. All are local treasures. I suggest Carleo's, Barley's, or Downtown Grille & Brewery for spots to have a beer and mingle.
As far as hiking goes, That really depends on how far you want to drive. You are about 2 hours from one of the best parts of the Appy Trail in Damascus, VA up I-81 outside of Abbingdon. Trail Days in May is an awesome thing. If you want to stay more local, I suggest Cade's Cove or about anywhere in Big South Fork will do. Townsend is less populated than Cade's Cove and just as nice IMO as well.
