  • Pine Log Mountain Trail

    Early on Saturday (well, 9amish) we set out for our hike. The challenge for this weekend's jaunt was the weather. My favorite meteorologist forecasted a high of 97 degrees, with the thermometer hitting 93 by 11 o'cloc…

  • Sitton Gulch Hike

    Gulch = a deep, narrow ravine, especially one marking the course of a stream or torrent. Lately my Saturdays have been spent day-hiking and I've chalked up a few miles, while trying to maintain some semblance of fitne…

  • Panola Mountain Hike

    National Trails Day celebrations abounded on Saturday and there were a plethora of day hikes to be explored. I chose Panola Mountain because for three reasons: 1) it was closest to home, but still an hour away, 2) I'd…

  • Cloudland Canyon

    Saturday's weather was so inviting that I abandoned my indoor chores and headed for the hills, if you know what I mean. Cloudland Canyon is a state park that I've wanted to visit for several years, but had never made t…

  • Mountains, Music, and Marriage

    Beautiful weather, vistas, voices, and friends made this past weekend full of things to blog about. Below is a photo of Kennesaw Mountain (and little Kennesaw) which a dear friend and I hiked up and around on Saturday a…

  • Heritage Park Trail

    This past Saturday I walked with a friend on this historic road which explores a portion of Confederate General Joseph Johnston's Smyrna Line and the remains of an old woolen mill. We also examined the remains of an im…
