RIVER MAJESTY CABIN ON THE CARTECAY RIVER
FISHING
A day to dream
Along a stream,
The song of birds
Instead of words,
And pictures rare
Flung everywhere
Instead of smoke
To blind and choke
An atmosphere
That’s sweet and clear,
The trees instead
Of chimneys red.
A patch of sky
To rest the eye;
Instead of noise,
A thousand joys;
Instead of greed
A kindlier creed.
A day to dream
Along the stream,
To think and plan,
Restores a man,
And this he knows
Who fishing goes.
Edward A. Guest
"All streams flow to the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place where streams come from, there they return again."
Holy Bible, King Solomon
MOUNTAIN ACTIVITIES
Horseback ride, fish, mountain bike, hike, kayak, raft, tube, canoe or meander through Georgia Mountain forests.
Rest on a sun-baked rock and listen to the rush of the Cartecay River, the flowing song of the Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains.
Watch the sun slip behind the mountains making way for the brilliant glory of the starlit and moonlit sky.
