Tubing down the Chattahoochee
This past weekend, we decided to drive 3 hours up to Helen, Georgia. Helen is a fake little german tourist trap nestled in the northern Georgia mountains and frequented by white trash, church youth groups, and old people. Helen is known for its arts & craft shops which is definitely NOT my thing.
I decided to throw our family into the mix because Kimberlie and the kids have never been tubing. Below are some photos in black and white:
Hanging from the trees behind Kimberlie are the “lost soles”. These people actuallly have enough time to collect all of the shoes that tubers lose in the river.
The kids had a great time floating down the river.
Make sure you choose Cool River Tubing if you decide to go.

Well your description of the town is discouraging but the tubing part sounds good.
River inner tubing was an important part of summer growing up in Texas, so I am glad to be reminded as a Texan in exile here in Georgia the same applies.
I will take up this matter with my son. Thanks.
