We headed out yesterday for a day trip on State Route 60, from Dahlonega to Blue Ridge, Georgia.  There is an old mill called Skeenah Creek Mill, on the other side of Suches, GA, which I thought would be interesting to see.  It was a delightful day capped off when we stopped for lunch at a little cafe along the way where we met another couple, who retired to the area.  The conversation was most enjoyable.

The first picture is the view at the high point of Route 60 before you get to the town known as Suches.  I noticed three things about Suches.  It has a Post Office, a gas station with a small store, and a motorcycle campground/lodge called Two Wheels of Suches.  The restaurant is open on the weekend and Monday morning for breakfast and was closed when we arrived.

Not to our dismay, there were three, elderly, character types sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch, who were eager to talk and most interesting.

The next two pictures are of the mill and the remaining of a river along the road to Blue Ridge.
