I hope things turn out well for your dad and his dad too.
I know eating out can get boring, I agree, its just while on vacation.

Nines had some good ideas there! Maybe you could go home and come down or up once a month for a week and be a guest.

Shawnee sounds great to me from nines description, don't know where it is but it sounds lovely.

Nines, yeah the Chattooga is not for amatures that's for sure and I would never do it without a guide! I don't even do the Ocoee without a guide but it is an adrenalin rush to do them both that's for sure. We got rain here in Ga a few nights ago.
