Beautiful day yesterday and the perfect day to head to the Chattooga River for Wessy's first visit to Woodall Shoals. She'll never actually swim in these waters because they are way to dangerous. But it is the perfect place to walk side-by-side for a short distance and then to see the river—the wild and scenic [...]
While I was in western PA this summer, I just had to visit a place where Joy and Denny took us on every trip. McConnells Mill and the covered bridge there is without a doubt one of my favorite places to visit. The bridge was built in 1874, and is a Howe truss bridge. Denny [...]
Opossum Falls (also called Possum Falls) in South Carolina is a place I have wanted to visit for a while. I can check it off my "to visit" list. The falls are located in Oconee County, and the well-kept trail (only a few downed trees) offers a great hike. I'm glad I did it before [...]
Up Rabun Bald again! This is from a few weeks ago. I'm behind on my posts maybe because I have a new puppy, who is pulling on me 24/7. My story: Beth had never been to the top of Rabun Bald, and I said, "Let's do it!" I had no idea what we were [...]
Whiteside Mountain near Highlands is always a favorite winter hike. Usually, we hike in ice and snow. This time it was just cold and wintery. I posted some of these photos on FB but wanted to talk about the hike itself. This hike is a looping two miles which leads to one incredible overlook after [...]
We have been hearing about "Tate City" for a long time, and it is beautiful but it also was really damaged by the last hurricane that blew through. Still, it's a great Sunday afternoon drive north of Clayton, Georgia, and then on to Tate City. Be sure to put that in your GPS and not [...]
These were Christ’s words to Phillip: “Don’t you know me . . . even after I have been among you such a long time?” (John 14:9) Recently, after watching some news reports, these words came to mind and I had to stop and think: Do I really know and understand Who is with me? Do [...]
I love seeing all the snow fall photos from this past weekend! How I wanted to be out on a trail hiking through the snow with my "snow chains" on my shoes, but I'm in the midst of training a new puppy. Can I tell you that is even more of a challenge than Blood [...]
