Fisher's Camp was operated by Tom and Hallie Fisher, who acquired the
property in 1928, about the same time as US 25 was coming through. It was
one of the few places along the highway that was opened 24 hours a day -
even on Christmas. People remember the southern cooking - fried chicken
and country ham - and the croquet tournaments.
Tom Fisher's son, also named Tom, ran the place after the senior Mr.
Fisher's death in 1952, but the opening of I-75 pretty much put it out of
business. Trucks never were a big part of the business, however, because
of the hills going up both ways from the camp: trucks didn't want to start
from the bottom at a dead stop.
There were 31 cabins in total, but no number 13. There was, however, a
twelve and half.
