November 10, 2010 - Wednesday

     We had finished wrapping gifts and getting two boxes ready to mail back to Edgewood so after eating breakfast we headed on to the Post Office. The woman working in the Post Office was from Severn, MD. She and her family are getting ready to move back there after the first of the year.      Tier, the woman we met at Prairie Trails had sent a message about a place that she really likes to visit. She felt that since it was on “Wild Cat Creek” that it would be appropriate for us to visit. We wrote down the directions and headed on out. It was quite a drive – but it was pretty. We turned on to the road and drove down about a mile and then realized we went West when the directions said East. We turned around and found East Wild Cat Creek. You would think it would be right across the highway but this is Georgia and none of the roads seem to be where I think they should be. We drove the entire road – a gravel one lane road that went around a lake with multi-million dollar homes. (One of the real estate books showed one – which we saw – for sale for 10 million dollars.) Beautiful Lake but we never found the waterfalls on the creek that we were looking for. (We talked to Tier later and she had meant to tell us West Wild Cat Creek. Oh well – I guess we weren’t meant to see the falls!)

     On the way back we stopped at Old Batesville General Store and Restaurant. We had seen signs saying it was the best restaurant in Batesville. The food was good but really they could have made the claim no matter how the food was. Not only was it the only restaurant in town but it was the only building!

     When Sam bought his rifle they gave him directions to a free gun range and we had planned to go there. After not finding the falls and then almost all the way back to the RV we headed to the range. However when we had gone a couple miles we saw a sign that our first turn, of many, was 16 miles down the road we decided just to go back to the RV.

     We knew tomorrow would be a lot of driving and walking so we just decided to stay home and relax for the rest of the day.
