Simple, clean, new layout.

Under Construction

As much as I love Google, I am currently working on a Wordpress Blog that (hopefully) will be a little cleaner, nicer-looking and more user friendly.
So keep reading here, but look for a link to my "new" blog moving over to Wordpress, soon!
Thanks for reading.

Labor Day Weekend, a taste of the Blue Ridge.

So, as you all probably know, the Appalachian Trail begins (or ends, if you rather) at Springer Mountain, in Georgia. This area is known as the "Georgia Blue Ridge". All you Virginians out there, don't be offended, we all know where the REAL Blue Ridge is...

However, seeing an opportunity to check this out over the long holiday weekend, Karsten and I and some friends of ours set out to camp in the Georgia Blue Ridge...

Toccoa River~ Reminded us a lot of Goshen, Virginia

We camped out at the Toccoa River Campground. Enjoyed swimming in the Toccoa River, hiking a trail with waterfalls, and exploring historic downtown Blue Ridge. But our trip was cut a little short by the tropical depression that dumped a ton of rain on us. We stayed dry with a tarp that covered our entire campsite.

 

The campsite, complete with the hammock, and classic Subaru outback :)
