Well, since you guys don't see many hills down in the flat land area I thought I would bring some mountains to you. The wife, dogs and I decided to run up and do a small day hike up at "Black Rock" state park (I know, we have a black rock too) which is the highest state park in Georgia and the "Continental Divide" just happens to pass through the middle of it. That was kind of neat. If I took a leak on one side of the mountain it flowed down to you guys and if I took a leak on the other side it went to the Atlantic.. I won't tell you which side I went on.. :-D It was an awesome day but it was "COLD"! Got out of the truck and it was a steady 17 degrees... :o

I've done all of the AT in Ga and I've also completed the Benton Mackeye trail. This was just a day hike to enjoy the views and a good lunch at the CUPBOARD!

Nice up there, but I think I'll wait a couple of months before checking it out again. :D
