The two RV Gypsies stood in both Georgia and Tennessee at the same time in several different spots. |
|

|
The blue state divider line went right through the middle of a store. |
|
|
So of course, the two RV Gypsies had to go inside the store and pose at the state divider line as well. Karen Duquette did not want to stand directly in front of Lee, so she sat down. The storekeeper who took the photo said the blue line could still be seen if Karen sat on it, but in reality, the blue line is hard to see in the photo, so Karen took another picture of the area. Karen also commented that the USA flag was hanging backwards. |

Below: Just outside of the store shown above was the steel bridge that shows where Toccoa River in Georgia becomes the Ocoee River in Tennessee. |
|
|
The Toccoa River and Ocoee River are the names used for a single 93-mile-long river that flows northeastward through the southern Appalachian Mountains of the southeastern United States. It is a tributary of the Hiwassee River which it joins in Polk Country Tennessee, near the town of Benton. Three power generating dams are operation along it. |

After crossing the bridge, the two RV Gypsies saw a totem pole (with a broken wing) by the Burra Burra Restaurant. |
|
|
Standing by the Burra Burra restaurant and the Conteaskee Totem Pole, Karen took a picture of the steel bridge that divides TN & GA, so she has photographed the bridge from both sides. |
|
Across the street from the Burra Burra Restaurant, on the Tennessee side of the river, there was an anti-Biden sign. |
|
The two RV Gypsies decided to check out a locals tore just because it was nearby and advertised a free gift. The sign did NOT say a purchase must be made in order to get the free gift. The store was just down the street and around the corner to the right of the Burra Burra Restaurant. But the sign itself was actually in the center of McCaysville, Georgia. |
|
The two RV Gypsies did find a unique gift here for their great-granddaughter. AFTER paying for the purchase, Karen had to ask the lady at the counter about the free gift that was advertised. She looked surprised, and quickly grabbed a pen to hand to Karen. Karen said, "A Pen???" So the lady handed her a very small candle, which Karen accepted. She wouldn't have offered any free gift, if Karen had not asked, even though signs in town advertise a free gift, as shown in the photo above. |
