Qiuping, Karen, Min, Wang Bing, Yu Weiping and I spent few hours on the river
bed in the Tallulah Gorge Park. October, 2001. It is a very beautiful
area.
From I-85N then I-298
N, on US441, spanning the border between Habersham and Rabun counties sits
Tallulah Gorge. In earlier times this gash in the earth's crust was the vacation
destination for more people than any other place in the Southeast. The only
visible evidence of the past splendor in the town of Tallulah Falls is the train
depot, now converted to a storefront. Yet this splendor is still evident in the
gorge. Ladore("L'eau d'or"), Tempesta, Hurricane, Oceana, Bridal
Veil;the names of the falls on the Tallulah River are a litany to those who love
the outdoors, so beautiful they were nicknamed "Niagara
of the South."
