Overnight at Cloudland Canyon

I did a solo overnight backpack on the Bear Creek trail at Cloudland Canyon State Park in Rising Fawn, Georgia. Click here to watch the video on YouTube

Monday River Walk

Another great fall morning yesterday. Our new starting point gives us three options on which way to go so we can change things up from time to time.

Saturday at Johnston Woods

What a wonderful fall afternoon for a walk in the woods! The Johnston Woods trail is on the property of a Methodist church that allows public access to the trail only. There are two loops that form a figure eight with the trailhead (and porta-poti) in the middle.

 

The trail is well groomed, marked, shaded and soft under foot from all the pine needle duff. Although it is open to mountain bikes we didn't run into any.

 

In keeping with it being church property there are numerous inspirational messages taken from scripture along the way. These together with the quiet solitude and relatively easy terrain promote an almost retreat-like escape from the days worries.
