Don, I moved from San Antonio to south GA a few years ago and the trees here just floored me. The mountains of north GA are even better than here, so it's not all doom and gloom. I'm sorry about your parents (I'm dealing with the same thing) and I know that uprooting and moving sucks but hopefully you'll find GA areable to. Hey you'll be right close to the Tail of the Dragon and lots of other places to play with the Cobra.
