A January lake sunset.
I got this idea that I needed a rock out there for better composition so I picked up a biggish one and tossed it out there. Um, yeah, I didn’t think about my camera until it was too late. So then I had to try to wipe the water splashes off with my shirt. Bad bad, I know but sometimes you gotta make do.
Then I tried something smarter, I just moved a few steps over to a spot that had just the rock I was looking for. And it didn’t require any rock throwing.
The George Disney trail is said to be one of the most difficult short trails in Georgia.
It’s only about a 2-3 mile round trip but you feel it on the way up and on the way back down.
Beautiful views from the top and well worth the climb.
The trail starts in Dalton GA behind the Church of the Nazarene in the corner of the gravel parking lot next to the family life building. There’s a little sign at the edge of the parking lot.
There was an old tin man lived upon a hill,
And if he's not gone he lives there still.
Happy Wednesday!

Long Creek falls is a 1 mile hike in Fannin County Georgia. It’s slightly uphill all the way to the falls and downhill all the way back.
Long Creek falls is off Forest Service road 58
There’s a few parking spots on the edge of the road. There’s even a note on the Benton MacKaye/ AT (AT is hiker lingo for Appalachian Trail) sign assuring you that the falls is that way.
Optional: while waiting for your friends to arrive: Have a snowball fight with a snowman.
No! Don’t hit my camera.
The heavy snow weighed the trees down so the trail seemed narrower than it really was.
Since part of the trail is on the AT we met guy from Michigan on his mission to hike the whole AT.
There’s a sign marking the turn off to the falls. And you might see a friendly snowman too if you’re lucky.
There are a few off trail additional little waterfalls.
Tiffany was hard core and went all the way down the bank for a better photo.
This off trail falls was much easier to get to.
It wasn’t raining and it wasn’t snowing but it felt like both most of the hike with the melting snow falling out of the trees.

… he waved goodbye saying,
"Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day.”
Conasauga falls is a pretty little 30’ waterfall in the Cherokee National forest.
If it’s a mile hike, it’s a very short mile.
The golden late afternoon sun gave the impression of warmth as it slipped down the other side of the hill but that was about all.
It was quite chilly as we got down to the bottom of the falls.
I nearly froze my fingers off messing around with the camera down there.
I put my gloves on for the hike back and it was much nicer that way.
Then we had one of those "hold my beer" moments. I handed my camera to my friend, I wanted a picture next to those trees just off the trail.
