plus some Helen, Georgia photos in 1986 and 2009

Labor-Day Week-end 1986, Karen and Lee Duquette went with their friends, Phyllis White and her boyfriend Frank Meoni to Morganton, Georgia. They stayed at their friends cabin. Thank you John and Alice Winkler, for letting us use your cabin.

Below: The walk to the Lake - Lee Duquette gave Karen Duquette some "not-so-nice" hand signals as she walked behind everyone while taking photos. NO, he was NOT mad at her. He just has a weird sense of humor sometimes. Maybe he just does not like "butt shots".

Below: North Georgia Bar-B-Que Restaurant is a favorite place of the two RV Gypsies' to get a great BBQ sandwich, at least in the year 2009. However, like many eating establishments in Cleveland, Yohan, and Helen, it is not open every single day of the week. Hopefully, it stayed open through the years to come.

NOTE: When Karen and Lee Duquette became The two RV Gypsies, they lost track of Phyllis White because she moved and they did not know how to reach each other. If anyone knows where Phyllis Hollifield White is now, (she probably has a new last name) please either contact her and tell her about this page, or email Karen Duquette about Phyllis' where-abouts. Karen will always miss her friend, and thinks about her often.
