Yahoola Lodge

We left Ponte Vedra Beach at 8:15 this morning to make our way to the mountains of North Georgia. Our road trip was wonderfully uneventful minus a pitstop at chik-fil-a. After 7 hours in the car we finally arrived at the rustic Yahoola Lodge which is nestled in the hills outside of Dahlonega, GA. The lodge is quaint, charming and everything I thought it would be.

We all enjoyed a filling "last supper" of our favorite foods--cheeseburger, potatoes and mac & cheese. The meal would not have been complete without a toast of champagne and a slice of our wedding cake that has been in the freezer since our wedding. Unfortunately the wedding cake wasn't that great but fortunately we brought another publix cake to eat.

All in all it was a great final night with our parents who were kind enough to bring us up here and who we will miss very much over the next few months.

We did a video of the lodge but couldn't upload it through our phone. Search "Yahoola Lodge" on YouTube and our video should come up. Let us know what you think.

Congratulations on making it this far. Looks like you are well prepared with supplies and gear. Make sure you enjoy the first couple of weeks getting into trail shape and don't flame out early.
Looking forward to hearing all about your progress. Will begin my practice hiking with backpack to get in shape for joining you in Virginia.

Good luck and fair weather,
Carl
