The Georgia Traveler T.V. Show is a wonderful idea thought up by the Georgia Public Broadcasting Station. This show entails many places in Georgia to visit. Residents who watch this show, get first hand accounts on how beautiful these places really are. Some tourist spots that are aired on the show are well-known vacation spots, while others are little known and untouched by society. These untouched wonders are my favorite. This show is my favorite as well. Let it be known that this PBS show: Georgia Traveler, was the inspiration of this blog.

Hosts Phil Proctor, Keely Muse, and David Zelski

I enjoy watching the hosts of the show, as well as seeing the mishaps that may come along. Regardless of what happens during the show, the hosts all display a warm friendly attitude and their personalities exude a sense of kinship. I hope this show airs for a very long time. Check out your local listings for episodes and air dates. But for tonight, Saturday, July 12th we’ll be seeing:

SCENIC MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY
