I went hiking on the Appalachian trail today. Four miles in the most wonderful example of the "North Georgia Mountains"! There was a point on the trail that I believe I could see 60 miles, and it felt good to be back in the woods again.

After I got back to the car, I saw a sign for a "Nature Area" and thought I'd go look at it. It was a SMALL. lake nestled in the mountains with a park built around it. Good only for fishing from the shore of - boats and swimming prohibited.

But the road that took me there, well, it could be "The road to (almost) no where". I started the camera right after I left the park. It is about 6.5 miles back to the main road and I did it in 8 1/2 minutes.

Perhaps Blood Mountain isn't really the Dragon - the curves are higher speed and you have two lanes in your directoin of travel at times.. Ok, fine maybe today's discovery will look more like the Dragon...

At about the 1:30 mark, I pick up the pace... wait for at least 3 or 4 minutes before you cancel the stream!
It's cool what you can find by NOT trying to find ANYTHING!
