Hiking the Georgia AT in 2010

One of my goals for 2010 is to hike the Georgia section of the Appalachian Trail, with the aim of doing the whole thing (to Maine) over the next 10 years. Here is a map of the 76 mile GA portion, which I hope to enjoy with my son through a combination of day and overnight hikes.

Day Hike to Desoto Falls

After a few hours this morning of getting ahead on the week, I took a hike to Desoto Falls. Here are some pics. On the way back, I stopped by the Boggs Creek Recreation Area. Wow! It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. I will get some photos of Boggs Creek next time, which hopefully will be very soon.

Hiking Yonah Mountain

Last weekend Matt Stephenson and I hiked Yonah Mountain in neighboring White County, near Cleveland, GA.  Due to time, we were only able to make it about 1/2 way up. But still, the views were amazing. The top of the mountain is a massive rock face that is used by the Army Rangers for climbing and rappelling practice, and in the winter, ice climbing! I guess it is about time to invest in a pair of crampons.

Hiking Cooper's Gap on the AT

This afternoon, while the ladies were at the Southern Living Idea House at Achasta in Dahlonega, Schaeffer and I went hiking at Cooper's Gap on the Appalachian Trail with our good friend, Matt Stephenson and his sidekick, Harper. Love being able to jump on the AT in the afternoon and get back in time to get a fire roaring for dinner. : )  Thanks, Matt, for being our guide!
