So happy to get inside the businesses. It’s really dated and blah on the front of the buildings, but once across the threshold, it is well done. Would love to visit there!

[@NoOne-gc3vw]

Thank y’all so much for the wonderful video. Murphy is a wonderful hidden gem. My family and I LOVE this little city.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks for watching.

my dad rebuilt the spire on top of the courthouse. master coppersmith

[@iLoveRVlife]

What an awesome legacy to see his artistry every time you pass the Court.

[@dustysidepanel3075]

@@iLoveRVlife we got to go up inside it last summer when i was visiting. its kinda treacherous climbing but getting to see the clock mechanism and old brickwork and look down through the vents over murphy is pretty incredible. there are actually bullet holes in some of the vents that you cant really see from the ground. he said there were bullet holes in the old spire and im pretty sure he mentioned an arrow they found in it. so thats crazy

[@joshuahawkins2743]

If you come from the city there are bugs here it is the mountains and they aren't going anywhere so get used to it lol

[@iLoveRVlife]

We love the woods and the mountains. Happy to share the space with the critters. Just part of the experience.

[@amyd7562]

O my goodness Jerry! This was so much fun! Y'all find the coolest places! Loved it!

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks a bunch Amy. We had a great time.

[@muttigans3544]

we hate you missed our store! We hope to see ya'll one day!

[@iLoveRVlife]

Extra time for sure. Looking forward to coming back.

[@elizabethmayberrysilk8788]

Great video. Joan is looking great !!!

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks and Joan passes along her best wishes.

[@retiredandrollin]

10-1130? Great information as I will be making that drive this week. Thanks for the heads up.

[@iLoveRVlife]

That’s been the magic time for us. Just make sure you’re out of the city before 11:30. Lunch rush can be busy.

[@courtneyoneal8845]

Looks lovely! Thank you for sharing.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks Courtney.

[@heartnsoullawncare]

Born and raised in Murphy. Definitely not what it used to be. I could definitely tell you about the history of the area. Bistro 29 was the pool hall as I was growing up. Where the undesirable folks hang out. Enjoy your videos from the Western NC area.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks so much. I’ve always have a deep appreciation for this area. I spent a good bit of time in the late 80’s in western NC and Murphy when I worked for Contel (aka Continental Telephone Company) converting the area to digital telecommunications. Agree, wasn’t much around and stayed in all of the old “do drop in” roadside hotels. Way to many lunch’s on the side of the road of a Coke, Vienna sausage and saltine crackers.

[@sparkygreen6298]

Although the best hot dogs I've ever ate, was at that pool hall!!!

[@bigdanc.8429]

Murphy is just down the road from our North Georgia mountain vacation home in Blairsville. Great area. Have you checked out Helen Georgia. We love Crane Creek Winery, we've been to several wines tastings when they showcase several wineries from the area. In Dahlonega there are several to visit. Wolf Mountain Vineyards & Winery. Cavender Creek Vineyards and Winery. Kaya Vineyard & Winery. Three Sisters Vineyards & Winery. Accent Cellars., Frogtown, Montaluce Winery, Habersham Winery, Sharp Mountain Vineyards, Cenita Vineyards, Sweet Acre Farms Winery, Yonah Mountain Vineyards, Serenity Cellars, Cartecay Vineyards and several others. Can you tell my wife likes wine 🍷? LOL 😆🤣😂

[@iLoveRVlife]

Hi Big Dan. Thanks for sharing. We’ve been coming to the area for a long time. Had a home in Blairsville for a while. We’ve been to the entire list of vineyards mentioned more times than should be mentioned and we have a number of videos on the channel for each. This area is one of our favorite places. To say the western NC and north GA mountains are special to us doesn’t express how deep the hills, the people, and the culture has been ingrained in us. From your comments, I suspect these beautiful hills have impacted you as well. Thanks again for confirming a great list of places to see.

[@lheiser2]

We live in Blairsville GA. Right next door. Come visit

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks

[@TWiumph]

I live in Ellijay, GA, which is "just over the hills." Thanks for you post. We'll have to check out Notley River. There are so many really nice vineyards in the north Georgia area.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Glad to share Greg.

[@HitchRollRelax]

We have an RV spot just down the road from Murphy in Blairsville GA. Love that area!

[@iLoveRVlife]

Big fan of this area. We’ve had a Thanksgiving stay at Track Rock a few years ago. Nice area.

[@RVSimpleLife]

Great video! 💯 Appreciate all the good information! 👍🏼

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks a bunch.

[@pamelamargroff5836]

Beautiful video!! JOAN is looking great, and glowing in this video. We would love to retire in this area someday. Thanks for sharing.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Great area. From Joan: “Thank you. That’s very sweet.”

[@susantaylor8554]

What name place you stayed

[@iLoveRVlife]

River Valley. I'll have a video tour this weekend.

[@nanettedavidson8949]

@@iLoveRVlife Don't you mean Valley River? Valley is the name of the river.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Oops. That’s the one.

[@deepnature6117]

We will be in Hiawasse in October for the mountain fair. We will definitely go to those vineyards. Going to Curahee in Toccoa this evening.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Fun. If you get a chance, visit the Currahee Museum. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nom8pGOclqp0bbc. Worth the stop.

[@cpsily]

We live in Murphy and I didn’t know this was on here !

[@iLoveRVlife]

Glad you found us!

[@2021-j2d]

Hi J, J & J, that monsoon in the mountains was beautiful, and as always, you found a great place to enjoy a rainy day! , Joan you are looking fabulous.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks a bunch. Joan said thanks for the sweet accolades.

[@leegandysdroid]

Great video! I was one town over, in Hayesville, NC, last week! We've gone up to that area every year for 20 years. If you're still up there, you guys would LOVE downtown Hayesville, about 20 miles east, right off of 64. Even smaller and more quaint than Murphy. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the others :) By the way, we were THIS close to eating at that brewery in Hiawassee, but ended up at the Chevelles that's in Hayesville.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks Lee. This is a nice area and the small western NC towns are unique.

[@AuntIE54WeeZER]

Beauitful country, agree some kinda pretty. Good to see Joan, so she does truly exist.

[@iLoveRVlife]

It sure is. Sweet Joan makes an appearance from time to time. A little camera shy.

[@BillByrd74]

Have you ever hiked to Ellicot’s Rock? Corner for GA, TN, NC.

[@iLoveRVlife]

I haven’t, but this looks like a very nice hike. We’re on the other side of NC, but plan to be on the southeast side in the fall. I’ve add to the list. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the trek.

[@BillByrd74]

@@iLoveRVlife my mistake, intersection GA NC SC.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Gotcha. I looked up the trail on Alltrails. Looks to be the type of hike I like to do.

[@davidballard8945]

With every new shot, your nose gets redder 😁😁😁😁

[@iLoveRVlife]

Maybe. It was worth every shade 😏

[@Roadking1503]

The Red Brick Deli is awesome. We were there a few years ago on a Sunday looking for something to eat and walked up to the door but they were closed. The owners were inside preparing for Monday and opened the door and welcomed us in and prepared a great meal for our family. We will definitely go back to the Red Brick. What campground are you staying at?

[@iLoveRVlife]

Great story Robbie. It’s that small town thing that makes the area special. We’re at River Valley.

[@deepnature6117]

First. Yahoo. Drinking coffee at Tugaloo state park on the water.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks. Have fun at pretty Tugaloo.

[@annwerner9112]

Where did you camp?

[@iLoveRVlife]

River Valley. Still have a good bit of video to edit for the trip. Will have campground tour soon.

[@livingthervlife1696]

Welcome to Murphy! Hope you enjoy your stay. Where are you staying? We live just West of town.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks. We’re at River Valley.

I’m not sure the cat is happy right now.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Mink is such a back seat driver. She always complains about the bumpy roads. Once we pulled out of Atlanta she and Molly were asleep in the back seat.
