    I was born raised in Georgia,Helen is my favorite place. I will be 63 Saturday God willing been visiting Helen since I was 18. Always rent a house or cabin from Tangle wood. Stop down at International cafe sit on the porch by the river and have a camel rider a wonderful sandwich. Slice of Helen has great pizza. So beautiful a place

    I never knew Georgia was so beautiful. North Georgia is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
  • @dottiwheeler747
    Once again, WHAT AN EDUCATION! I knew absolutely Nothing about these areas of Georgia! I never even associated the state with the Blue Ridge Mountains! I can't thank you enough for all you have enlightened me about. Happy Holidays!
  • Doesn’t seem too crowded, even during Oktoberfest. Helen has definitely made my list!
  • @cxmgaming
    Thank you so much for this video. My wife and I are celebrating our 2nd Wedding Anniversary next month and we are going here! I really love the amount of history and culture you show in your videos. I also am very excited to check out the places you visited. We also watched your Chattanooga video too! :)
  • Beautiful place! Randy makes every destination feel like a must-visit. Thanks so much for the content!
  • @DisneyGalVal
    I can see myself watching this one over and over! Dream road trip to the Blue Ridge and continue down to Helen. So good to see Bailey loving life!
  • @sgttombailes3380
    I'm 72 and grew up in N. GA. I remember when Helen was just a speck on the map. My Dad and I trout fished in Helen when I was a kid. Now it is a vibrant City.
  • @frenchielvr
    As a resident now of GA, we've been to Helen multiple times. You MUST check out Helen during Christmas-so beautiful. And Blue Ridge will take your breath away! Fun off roading! Thanks for a great video!
