Georgia is a state located in the Southeastern United States. One of the original 13 Colonies it was established in 1732. And believe it or not was named after King George II of Great Britian.
Georgia is known as the Peach state and believe me a well deserved name for the peaches are delicious.
You can divide Georgia in quadrants. There is the Atlanta Metro, the Historic Heartland,
The Classic South the Presidential Pathways, Magnolia Midlands, Plantation Trace and the Coast. Each area more unique than the other and all must be seen.
Georgia is bordered by Florida to the South, the Atlantic Ocean and South Carolina on the east and Alabama to the west and in the North it touches both Tennessee and North Carolina. This allows Georgia a wide range from southern feel of the Spanish moss hanging from the trees to skiing and snow top mountains to the north west.
Would you believe there are 250 different species of trees and 58 protected plants. If its wild life you like then Georgia has a variety. White tailed deer , the northern mockingbird and brown thrasher, 160 bird species makes it a perfect place to visit for those bird watchers.
However some of the wild life that I prefer not to run into are eastern diamondback rattlesnake and cottonmouth. Of course there are alligators...79 species of reptile and 63 amphibians all call Georgia home.
Like to fish...you won't be disappointed with the freshwater fishing, trout, bream, bass, and catfish....Don't forget it borders the Atlantic so saltwater fishing is great as well with flounder, spotted seatrout and tarpon. I enjoy crab and blue crabs are found inshore and offshore. Yum Yum!.
So as you Re-Discover America make plans to visit Georgia. Also you can tune in to my podcast at Stitcher just type in Zee Michaelson Travel.
