The Beauty of North Georgia!

We have the most amazing place to play.

If you are ever in the North Georgia mountains and like to ride, our trail system is some of the best in the world. The trail pictured here is Brush Creek which is near the Ocoee Whitewater Center, where the 1996 Olympics were held. You climb a slow grind 7 miles up and if you like 7 miles back down. If you'd rather not do the return you can opt to take the quick jaunt down the highway back to the parking lot.

All the wonderful outdoor activities availble here make me so grateful that we have had this given to us to use as we like. It also makes me think about ways in which I can keep it beautiful for generations to come. I want my grandchildren and their children to ride these trails someday. My hope is that they will look the same way then as they do today.

I got published for peeing standing up!

The one and only time I have ever been mentioned in an article and it had to be about peeing standing up! My husband and I ride mountain bikes, hike, river raft, camp out and all those wonderful things just out our front door here in North Georgia. Needless to say, toilets are never available for those activities. I was curious so I bought a "Go-Girl" online. They contacted me on Facebook about an interview so I did it. I'll shut up and let you read it here: http://www.thestate.com/health/story/765309.html

A Day On The Trail!

Tom and I rode our mountain bikes today. The weather was perfect for it. I just marvel at this beautiful place we call Earth. All sorts of plants and flowers were popping up since the fires. The streams were running full force and you could hear all kinds of birds calling throughout the woods. It makes me want to take care to disturb as little as possible and just enjoy. I felt very appreciative and full when the ride was over. We are so blessed to have this all right outside our door.
