In Search of an Old CCC Quarry and Bigfoot? Hiking Historic Pine Log Creek.
In Search of an Old CCC Quarry and Bigfoot? Hiking Historic Pine Log Creek.
I hiked the Pine Log Creek trails to the old Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) quarry. All the information and signage indicates the trail, which is a loop, is a little over four miles to complete the loop.
Be forewarned, if you decide to visit and hike to the quarry, it will take longer than the estimated times of two hours. It took me three just to get to the quarry and another two to return using the shorter route.
This area has a considerable history going back centuries. Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto visited here in 1570. It is not known when the Cherokee settled this area, but it was prior to 1785. Three principal chiefs were born here: Major Ridge, James Vann, and William Hicks.
This community was in existence by that date because “Chesecotetonia” or the Yellow Bird of Pine Log signed the 1785 Treaty of Hopewell on behalf of the town. This treaty between the United States and the Cherokees outlined western boundaries for white settlement while also defining boundaries for the Cherokees, along with special provisions involving trade and conduct. One of the signers of that treaty for the United States was Senator Benjamin Hawkins of North Carolina. During his travels through this area in 1796 as the newly appointed agent for Indian Affairs, he noted the Cherokee name for Pine Log Town as “Notetsenschansie”. From this spelling, those more familiar with the Cherokee language derived a different pronunciation interpreted as “pine footlog place”. (Historical information from the Etowah Valley Historical Society. https://evhsonline.org/bartow-history/places/pine-log-see-rydal)
The Civilian Conservation Corps was a voluntary government work program from 1933-1942. It provided jobs related to conservation and development of natural resources on Federal, state, and local government lands.

BRASS
brasstown-bald,-the-highest-point-in
This is a pictorial and video montage from a recent visit to Georgia's highest mountain, Brasstown Bald. It rises 4,784 feet above sea level and is located on the border between Towns and Union counties in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. It features a gift shop, museum, an observation deck with signs showing points of interest, and several hiking trails. The tower at the observation deck is a fire tower. The last time I heard a ranger talk about whether or not it was still used for fire watch was in the 1990's, and she said it was only used occasionally. I don't know about now, but my guess is it's no longer used for fire watch at all.
Due to its elevation, the temperatures are considerably cooler than nearby towns below. The record high temperature in the summer is only 84 degrees Fahrenheit. The record low is -27 degrees Fahrenheit. Other than Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee can be seen from here. On a clear day, Atlanta and Clingman's Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park can also be seen. Brasstown Bald is also an excellent place to see the night sky. Whether or not you are interested in astronomy, it's a beautiful sight nonetheless as there are no lights at night either in the parking lot or at the top.
I hope you enjoy this short video of the beautiful and amazing sights from this amazing place!

Chat About Changes Coming to the Channel and Replacing an A/C Compressor. In this video, I talk about changes I will be making to the channel. At the same time, I also replaced the air conditioner compressor on my truck which went out while I was in Middle Georgia this past weekend. It wasn't fun, especially since it was about 95 degrees and very humid! It didn't cause me to break down which was a good thing. The locations was way out in the middle of nowhere.

CLASS

Old school closed years ago and sometime later burned. I wasn't able to find any information about this school unfortunately. The only thing I could determine was that it was possibly an elementary school. Come see what makes me believe that!

CLOSE
closed-after-105-years
CLOSED AFTER 105 YEARS! This is the old Lindale Manufacturing Company textile mill formerly Pepperell Manufacturing. It began operation in 1896. In 1943 and 1945 the mill won the World War 2 Army and Navy production award. In 1970, 1972, 1973, and 1974 it won the Sears and Roebuck award for materials manufactured for their clothing line.
Some of the denim weaving operation was transferred to plants in South Carolina resulting in the loss of 450 jobs locally. The mill completely closed in 2001 with another 234 jobs lost.
I don't know what the original purpose of the stucco building was, but the last use appears to have been a women's health center until 2005.
