Blue Ridge Country May/June 2022 - 15
THE GOOD WALK
BRAND NEW
Constructed and opened in 2020, everything
at the Hampton Inn Blue Ridge is bright, crisp
and clean. Our room's window overlooked the
scenic railway, so we could watch the trains'
arrivals and departures. It's less than a minute's
walk from downtown shops and restaurants,
but don't overlook the rooftop bar for an
evening meal. -LMA
Lunch was under a massive 200-year-old oak tree at
The Black Sheep and, as I write this months later, I'm still
dreaming of the crab cakes Benedict and thinking how
ironic it is that the best crab dish I've ever had was in the
southern Blue Ridge Mountains.

I was also impressed by the wooden lamp sculptures of
William B. Selby, Jr. in High Country Art. He dyes and fires
the shades made of sand in his studio! I was photographing
colorful bottles of Bloody Mary mixes in Chester's Provisions
when Anetta Rowly of Atlanta leaned in to say,
" I come here every few months to stock up on some of
those-I can't find them anywhere else. That's also true of
items I find at Love Dogs and Cats Too in that converted
gas station down the street. "
BLUE RIDGE SCENIC RAILWAY
ALL ABOARD!
The Blue Ridge Scenic Railway travels along the Toccoa River
from Blue Ridge to the twin towns of McCaysville, Georgia,
and Copperhill, Tennessee, on its four-hour excursion. Along
the way, Laurie's sharp eye identified maidenhead fern,
spiderwort and fire pinks amidst the luxuriant streamside
growth. Also, be on the lookout for Sasquatch. Passengers
see at least his silhouette on almost every ride. Fish tacos
at Burra Burra were a nice compliment to riverside dining in
McCaysville. -LMA
