In 1978 National Geographic included an expose on Rabun County and Wolfflork Valley specifically. In the August issue they wrote:

"They are old mountains," artist and author John Kollock has written about his northeast Georgia homeland "and being old they contain much of the stored-up wisdom of an evolving nature over the centuries."

"For the patient seeker, beauty shines in a maple leaf on dew-dappled grass and the vista of Wolf Fork Valley, rolling eastward through the Blue Ridge. For city youngsters, summer camps nest in the forest, here at the headwaters of the Little Tennessee. For the gourmet, family-style dinners spread out as many as fourty homegrown, home cooked delights. For the collector, grandfathers still wittle nonsense toys, and women stitch cotton rag rugs and bright quilts. For all, there is the pleasure of meeting just good folk."

These words are as true today as they were in 1978.
