Sunday, April 21st, 2013:  Lovely day!  I checked out of the Toccoa hotel this morning and went to the Toccoa United Methodist Church for 11:00 a.m. Small congregation, but decent-sized choir (11 women, 6 men) and a good sound - very friendly people - so many of them made a point of welcoming me, as I was obviously new.
After church,  drove off to Tallulah Gorge State Park to see the gorge and the falls.  On the way, I stopped at a little craft shop to look around.  The older Indian man (probably Cherokee - that seems to be the predominant tribe around here) who owned the shop gave me a fridge magnet with ``Tallulah Falls`` on it - just because I had come from such a distance and had had bad luck with my RV engine.  He said that he was trying to change my bad luck - very sweet.
The Gorge itself was truly awe-inspiring - the floor of the gorge was closed today because of recent rainy weather - but the view from the stations above is amazing!
I`m now installed in a motel in Clayton for two nights - will check out the area around here tomorrow.
