The train ride was nice. There were pretty and interesting sites to see in the back country, and we bought Apple Cider Slushies and fried apple pies from the concession car. We'd never had Apple Cider Slushie before, it was yummy.
The train ride was about an hour trip up to the twin cities of McCaysville, Georgia, and Copper Hill, Tennessee. The State Line literally runs right through the town, through the IGA grocery store, and a restaurant, and other buildings/businesses/etc.
It was pretty funny that it happens to be Polk County, Tennessee right there. Polk is the county we live in Georgia, and my sister lives in in Florida, haaaaa. What are the chances?
Ryan was wearing a Polk County Fire Dept. cap and a lady on the train thought it was Tennessee, and he was thinking Georgia, of course, so it was a funny conversation for a minute there.
We spent about an hour and a half in McCaysville/Copper Hill, walking around town, checking out the sites, looking around in some of the stores.
Everyone got a kick out of the McCaysville Drug & Gun shop.
We bought some fudge, chocolate covered pretzels, got my Smashed Penny souvenir, and ate at Georgia Boy BBQ (which, sorry, I wouldn't recommend).
After arriving back in Blue Ridge, we headed for Hiawassee, Georgia, to spend the night at my/parents house.
