Did you know that summer is the best time of year

Did you know that summer is the best time of year to see the center of the Milky Way Galaxy for those of us living in Georgia? Roughly from June until about September is when the Milky Way is the most visible, and the highest in the sky for us. If you're looking for a new spot to take in the views, here are three of our favorites in Northeast Georgia:

1. Brasstown Bald. Not only is this the highest point in the state, but it's also one of the darkest in terms of light pollution. This means that the stars don't have as much light to compete with, and they stand out even more. Just keep in mind that if you want to get up to the observation tower, you'll be hiking in the dark as the shuttle doesn't run at night!

2. Rabun Bald. Tucked way up in the Northeast corner of the state, far away from any major cities lies Rabun Bald. This is within one of the few true "dark zones" in Georgia meaning that it's about as good as it gets in this part of the country for stargazing. You'll be hiking in the dark again, but if you're prepared, the 360 -degree views of the night sky are unbeatable from up here.

3. Hogpen Gap. We had to include one that is accessible by car as we know not everyone is comfortable being out in the woods at night. This is just a roadside overlook on Richard B Russell outside of Helen with stunning views during the day, and a great view of the night sky to the Northeast. You won't get the 360 views of the other two, but you can't beat this spot in terms of convenience.

These three are just the tip of the iceberg as there are so many more, but we can only put so much in one post and these are our favorites close to home. There are some truly fantastic spots out in Northwest Georgia as well, but those are a haul for us late at night. Have you found some great spots in your backyard? Or maybe even visited these? Let us know!

With summer in full swing, Clayton has been buzzin

With summer in full swing, Clayton has been buzzing with folks around town, and if there's one thing we all have in common, it's that we love good food! We figured we'd take a moment to list out some of our favorite places to eat around town so you've got some options when that time comes! If you don't see your pick on the list, let us know! We'd be here all day if we tried to list every place in town where we've had a great meal, so these are a few off the top of our head:

BBQ: Blue Hound Barbecue @bluehoundbarbecue
Cuban: The Hush Cuban Kitchen @thehushcuban
Pizza: Fortify Pi @fortify_pi
Italian: Mama G's @mamags777
Burgers: Universal Joint Clayton @ujclayton
Mexican: Manrique's Mexican Restaurant @manriquesmexicanrestaurant
Breakfast: Sunday Diner @sunday.diner
Coffee: White Birch Provisions @whitebirchprovisions
Sushi: Rabun Social @rabunsocial
Cajun: Bleu Canoe @bleucanoe

Let us know who we missed! There are still some great choices outside this list that we haven't tried or they just escaped our minds.

Build an appropriately sized fire and give it your

Build an appropriately sized fire and give it your full attention. While we know many of us are amateur pyros, the reality is that the smaller the fire the better. If you’re cooking, you don’t need a bonfire to cook. If you’re cold, you don’t need a bonfire to stay warm. If you just want it for atmosphere, believe it or not, you still don’t need a bonfire. The key is to build an appropriately sized fire that is contextual to what you’re doing. The bigger the fire, the harder it can be to maintain, especially when you’re in the woods and don’t have a ton of tools to control it should it get out of hand. So build small and build intentionally and you’ll still be able to accomplish what you need without the extra risk that a bigger fire can bring. And stay with it from start to finish and don’t leave it unattended.
