Atlanta Flooding Drew Valley Rd

Since there were reports of flash floods in Atlanta I decided to drive around and see some for myself. This video is taken in my neighborhood. The small creek is now a raging river and flowing through these people's front yards. There were 2 places on the road that I had to drive through about a foot and a half of water.

Tesnatee Gap

Labor Day weekend AnnaLee and I decided to finally head up to the Appalachain Trail to a spot where I have wanted to camp for a while now. I have been on this section of the trail many times before and there is some great scenery. We had discussed what to do with Jolie and Pierre (her 2 toy poodles) and decided to take them along. I know what your thinking, bringing 2 toy poodles is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Well, I have seen these dogs on the farm that they were practically raised on; they do not act like toy poodles. Jolie and Pierre run through the woods, play in the mud and dirt, and are not scared of much. They are great with people and other animals (including Vita, the huge German Shepherd who they love playing with). Also, I tested them by taking them to the park and walked on the trails with them without a leash. They walked right in front of me and stayed on the trail the whole time, they were ready. We departed for the trail early Sunday morning. We hiked sou...

Tesnatee Gap Campsite

Jacks River Falls

I am very late writing this blog... My first trip to Jacks River Falls was with a buddy of mine, bmorris. bmorris is the same person who bought the Mountain Hardware pack on a whim (but for a steal) on the way to StoneDoor, courtesy of Allison and Marjorie at Mountain Outfitters in Monteagle TN (that will be another blog eventually). We originally planned on bringing a couple girls with us on this trip but for various reasons that fell through. We changed our route accordingly since we did not have females with us. We hiked in from the East Cowpen Trail. To get here take 575N through Blue Ridge, left at the McDonalds on to Hwy 5, then about 3-4 miles take a left on to Old Hwy 2. The road turns into a dirt/gravel road and you remain on that for at least 20 minutes. Parking will be on the right (cant remember the number of the parking lot). The East Cowpen Trail is pretty challenging with little picturesque views unfortunately. I believed it was about 8 miles, then we go...
