Our favorite family past time is what we call “going on adventures”. We love to travel to new places and see things that we have never seen before. One favorite trip that comes to mind is the day that we discovered our favorite secret getaway in North Georgia. I had searched internet archives on favorite hidden places to see in North Georgia and came across a place called Dick’s Creek. Now this creek was said to be secluded and it didn’t even have a real address so to speak. Instead it had a location and some random roads listed that were in the area. So, we packed a lunch and went on our way. What we found was a nature lover’s paradise! After touring many dirt roads and actually crossing through a foot of water in our conversion van, we came across our little piece of heaven. What sat in front of us was a wild roaring creek about a quarter of a mile wide, nestled in and between the mountains. The creek was open to swimmers and rafters alike, but it was completely undisturbed by man. The kids swam for hours, diving off the rocks in the middle and sliding down the mini-rapids upstream. It was and still is by far our very favorite adventure!
