Today I decided to go on a different adventure. I left the city for the afternoon and drove down Georgia 212 (a road that would change my life forever for the better) and entered the Oconee National Forest near Monticello, Georgia. When I was a senior at Georgia College and State University I came to this forest a few times to explore. It does not contain the mountain vistas or the waterfalls of Georgia's other National Forest, the Chattahoochee National Forest but it is beautiful in it's own ways. The United States Government owns over 600 million acres of land, most of them are in the Western...Read More

Just a little while back I had returned to one of my favorite places in the world, the North Georgia Mountains, a place I have been exploring since I was 7 years old in 1989. Of course back then my ability to explore was rather limited, no drivers license, no car, and no way I could safely venture deep into the woods without the presence of an adult.

I decided to go once again this past weekend so I drove out to Cedartown on Saturday but I ended up being disappointed because the cloud cover was just too much. I have nothing against clouds, just not THAT many, it was total overcast and I like being able to have a nice view on both the flight and the fall. Saturday was July 23 and perhaps it was by more than just chance that I decided to postpone my jump because the fact that I did it on Sunday the 24th made it the 6 year...Read More

Woof Woof! Bark Bark! Man's best friend they call them. I had a great dog for 13 and a half years and I miss her like crazy. More and more cities around the United States are putting in dog parks so be sure to go out there and take your dog. Having a healthy dog includes making sure the dog gets plenty of exercise. It is also a great way to meet your neighbors.
