The North Ga, Tenn. Mountains. It is beautiful there this time of year. My husband and I went on our honeymoon, August 2002, and have been since….we thoroughly enjoyed the trips up there. By the way, we live in middle Ga. Also the Cherokee mountains is not that far from these places. It was cooler there than where we live. there’s a place called “Fields of the Woods”. Great Spiritual place to visit & it’s kinda on a mountain near these places as well.
Hope this answer helps.

NH cool by your standards in the summer. Plenty of lakes and to stay on the ocean is short $$ if you stay at the state parks.
