The
Appalachian foothills of North Georgia have
become one of the prime destinations for a retirement escape plan. The small
communities dotting this scenic area are far enough from the big city to avoid
traffic, noise, and congestion, but close enough to enjoy convenience, quality
health care, and access to travel. The beauty of the area provides an endless
supply of new discoveries: scenic mountain views; the rushing rapids of rivers,
streams, and waterfalls; and preserved forested lands with a bounty of plant
and animal life. North Georgia towns are
definitely growing, but most civic leaders are focused on building
infrastructure without destroying the natural surroundings.

The Great Escape - Retiring to Dahlonega
--from 400 Edition , December/January 2007 issue
by Beth
Snider
For
metro Atlanta
commuters, the average drive is 45 minutes. That’s 195 hours a year or just
about one year of travel time in a 30-year career. It’s a considerable portion
of time to consider applying to other activities when you are approaching
retirement. If you have spent over fifty years in constant activity—at work;
raising a family; and serving your community—retirement may seem like a
distant, foggy dream. Time has a way of sneaking up on the most thorough
planner, though, so it is important to envision what life will be for you when
your time is your own.
