A Tour of Traveler's Rest: Traveler's Rest Historic Site
In the early 1800s, this was one of the finest stagecoach inns of its day. Originally built in 1815 and extensively remodeled in 1837, Traveler's Rest was one of four stagecoach inns along the Unicoi Turnpike, which ran from South Carolina to Tennessee.
This stagecoach inn and plantation home was built around 1815 by James R. Wyly. He strategically located it along the newly constructed Unicoi Turnpike, a busy highway over the Appalachian Mountains. Wyly operated the inn until 1833 when he sold it to his neighbor Devereaux Jarrett, the richest man in the Tugaloo Valley. Jarrett continued to operate the inn, but doubled its size to make it the homeplace of his 14,400-acre plantation along the Tugaloo River. Three generations of Jarretts inhabited the site until the state of Georgia purchased the remaining few acres of the once-vast plantation for $8,000 in 1955. Thanks to both its architectural significance and its role in the early history of the area, Traveler's Rest was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964. Today, visitors can tour the house and see many original artifacts and furnishings, some of which were crafted by Caleb Shaw, a renowned cabinetmaker from Massachusetts.

ABOUT PLACES IN PERIL
Inspired by The Georgia Trust For Historic Preservation's annual Places In Peril list musician T. Hardy Morris and filmmaker Jason Thrasher traveled to historic sites in Georgia threatened by demolition and neglect to film live performance videos of each song on his debut solo album, Audition Tapes.
ABOUT TRAVELER'S REST
James Rutherford Wyly constructed Traveler's Rest in 1815 as an inn for travelers on the historic Unicoi Turnpike. The inn was sold in 1833 to Rutherford's neighbor, Deveraux Jarrett, who expanded the building to its current size of nearly 6,000 square feet. In addition to operating the inn, Jarrett used Traveler's Rest as the headquarters of his 14,400-acre plantation. The property remained in the Jarrett family until 1955 when Elizabeth Jarrett White sold Traveler's Rest to the state. THE THREAT: Due to budget cutbacks, the Department of Natural Resources is only able to open the site once a month. The Friends of Traveler's Rest funds three additional days of operation per month. Limited use and decreased tourism has resulted in decreased revenue and deferred maintenance. To learn more about Places In Peril visit

Adventure through the Etowah River Mine Tunnel
Jason, Rachael, Karlie and I went on a Living the Dream kayaking trip on the Etowah River on Memorial Day Weekend 2011. What is unique about this river, is getting the chance to paddle through the Etowah River Mine Tunnel which is about a 1/4 mile long. This tunnel was used to divert the river during the first gold rush that hit the United States. Given the fact the walls of the tunnel are approximately 7 ft wide, one tiny error could leave you swimming throughout the rest of the journey.
Dr. Peter David Beter - Audio Letter 31 : Soviet; National Emergency; SALTFebruary 27, 1978
Dr. Peter David Beter - Audio Letter 31 - February 27, 1978
Text:
MP3:
(1) The dawning of Soviet cosmostrategy and cosmopolitics
(2) The accelerating buildup to a national emergency
(3) Growing casualties in the secret war over SALT
Hello, my friends, this is Dr. Beter. Today is February 27,
1978, and this is my Audioletter No. 31.
Before I discuss anything else today I want to take a moment
to thank all of you who have been writing, sending news
clippings, and your specially-made tape recordings. My mail has
become so overwhelming that it's physically impossible for me to
answer most of you personally. But I do want you to know that
even those things which I may not acknowledge for some time, are
read--the clippings, the tapes, and other personal tips you send
me are studied, and it's all very helpful and appreciated; and I
thank you again.
The task of sorting out and analyzing the intelligence I
receive nowadays from sources world-wide, is a full time job for
me. On the other hand, the United States Intelligence Community,
which employs more than 100,000 persons to do the analyzing for
the government costs the taxpayers billions of dollars a year;
and moreover, the United States Intelligence establishment is
hamstrung at the top by over-centralization and a politicized
analysis process that has produced a disastrous intelligence gap
for America. So today, I receive a continuing flood of
high-level intelligence from sources who believe you and certain
other top officials world-wide should know.
From time to time I refer you to other sources of important
information so that you can broaden your perspective or get
further details. Sometimes these other sources return the favor
by expressing very uncomplimentary opinions about me, personally;
and some of you have written to me greatly shocked over this.
But, my friends, I ask you not to lose heart at a few ugly words
when they appear; instead, look beyond them to the facts that are
documented. Compare those to my warnings, and then decide for
yourself. There are some who say I should keep quiet about the
things I tell you, that I am frightening the people; but, my
friends, if I did keep quiet, it would be like an Air Raid Warden
who refused to turn on the siren to warn of approaching bombers
because that would frighten people. And there are those who say
I will ruin my credibility by revealing even hard intelligence
about matters that depart so far from popular beliefs. But in
the words of General George Keegan, recently retired Chief of Air
Force Intelligence: I'd rather be right than credible.
Five years ago I described in detail how the United States
dollar would be destroyed deliberately and lead to monetary
chaos. It seemed incredible; or, as David Rockefeller put it:
Interesting science fiction. But today the dollar is following
the so-called incredible course I warned about in my book, THE
CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE DOLLAR; and all the comfortable, credible
monetary projections of that day are in the trash bin.
Stagflation is confiscating our assets, as it was planned to do.
The intelligence I am revealing today is every bit as solid as
that which I made public five years ago--and which is proving
true today. But because you still are not being told the truth
by the Federal government or by the controlled major media, which
gives me the silent treatment, the intelligence I make public
leaves many people shaking their heads--just as they did five
years ago. [...]
