Hiawassee

Right, yeah, because we didn't...

And for you guys, we stayed at the Hiawassee KOA in Hiawassee, Georgia, which is just outside this small little town of Helen, which maybe you've seen some YouTube videos on, maybe you've seen some Instagram reels on, but for those that aren't familiar, Helen is this little itty-bitty town in the mountains of Georgia, kind of Georgia-North Carolina border that... is modeled after what us in America would consider a Bavarian German village, and they are known to have an Oktoberfest every year.

And besides the Oktoberfest, they do do Christmas and spring stuff where they decorate the town, but they are primarily known for having an Oktoberfest.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But why...

Again, we talked about why we didn't tow the camper up to Hiawassee.

It's in the mountains.

It was unnerving, the sight that someone was moving parallel to the trail, marking their territory, for reasons I couldn't begin to fathom.

After about a week, I limped into Hiawassee, Georgia, tired and unnerved.

My first stop wasn't the outfitter or the grocery store.

It was the one-hour photo counter at the local pharmacy.

Requisitioned $330.56.

Rendered $330.56. Holding treaties with Cherokees for a canal to connect the Hiawassee and Canisago.

Requisitioned $10,000.

Leaving $10,000 unaccounted for.

It was my wish to have seen them, and in pursuance of your instructions made known the views and wishes of the government to them also.

My time, I found, would not hold out, and if it had been longer, I must have arrived in their country at the period when the commissioners were engaged in negotiating for the privilege of uniting by means of a canal through their country, the waters of Canasego and Hiawassee, and I should have deemed it prudent, even with time enough to have visited them, not to distract their counsels by calling off their attention to any other subject.

Of the Cherokees, it is due that I should speak from my knowledge, obtained, however, otherwise than by personal observation in terms of high commendation, THEY HAVE DONE MUCH FOR THEMSELVES.

In regard to these, the Chickasaws and Choctaws, I believe it will only be required to make the provision, and as has been more fully explained in my reports of the 10th and 17th of October, marked A, B, and C, and they will go i believe also the greater portion of the cherokees would follow and upon a bare exposition of the plan which has been recommended the establishment of a suitable system for their transportation and an invitation to them to go and join their brothers i did not as you are aware visit the cherokees it was my wish to have seen them and in pursuance of your instructions made known the views and wishes of the government to them also my time i found would not hold out and if it had been longer i must have arrived in their country at the period when the commissioners were engaged in negotiating for the privilege of uniting by means of a canal through their country the waters of Canasego and Hiawassee, and I should have deemed it prudent, even with time enough to have visited them, not to distract their counsels by calling off their attention to any other subject.

It has been their good fortune to have had born among them some great men.

Was told by my worthy entertainer of a wondrous gap in the mountains which he advised me to see.

It's called track gap, said he, from the great number of tracks in the rocks, bird tracks, bar tracks, hoss tracks, men tracks, all in the solid rock, as if it had been mud, bidding farewell to my worthy mountaineer and all his comfortable wonders i pursued my way to the south as i was leaving he repeated the warnings of danger ahead saying that there were a good many people living like wild beasts on whatever they could steal and that murders were sometimes committed for four or five dollars and even less while stopping with him i noticed that a man came regularly after dark to the house for his supper he was armed with a gun a pistol and a long knife my host told me that this man was at feud with one of his neighbors and that they were prepared to shoot one another at sight that neither of them could do any regular work or sleep in the same place two nights in succession that they visited houses only for food and as soon as the one that i saw had got his supper he went out and slept in the woods without of course making a fire his enemy did the same my entertainer told me that he was trying to make peace between these two men because they both were good men and if they would agree to stop their quarrel they could then both go to work most of the food in this house was coffee without sugar corn bread and sometimes bacon but the coffee was the greatest luxury which the people knew the only way of obtaining it was by selling skins or in particular sang that is ginseng which found a market in far-off china my path all to-day led me along the leafy banks of the Hiawassee, a most impressive mountain river.

Its channel is very rough, as it crosses the edges of upturned rock strata, some of them standing at right angles, or glancing off obliquely to right and left.

Thus a multitude of short, resounding cataracts are produced, and the river is restrained from the headlong speed due to its volume and the inclination of its bed.

But pair brothers, Kadir and Nazir Lewis, they were found dead on the top of Bell Mountain.

which is in Hiawassee, Georgia.

That's in the North Georgia mountains.

The brothers were found March 8th, 2025.

I think Major League Baseball should make it standard procedure, just like standing for the Star-Spangled Banner.

Go Braves, Ron in Hiawassee.

You know, they went through the line and- and shook hands.

I thought it was great to see, uh, especially for a game in front of 2,500 kids.
