Sweetwater Park

[funeralcrasher]

So, johnbutler and I rode out to Sweetwater park this afternoon. (edit -- actually we visited here 4 years ago almost to the day. link to our visit in 2004)

The weather today was slightly cool, but still beautiful. We walked about 4 miles, much of that over debris strewn over the trails from last month's floods.

America, the beautiful...


Ok this is better...




And the ruins of Sweetwater mill...
















We found this laying on the side of the trail...


We say-vid it...

Except for the obvious pollution, (and prolly the not so obvious as well), it looks like a beautiful little valley. I didn't think you got the leaves turning in the way that ours do. Maybe I'm mistaken...

Ours are just starting to turn this fall. The colors should be brilliant next weekend.

Georgia does not have any gorgeous expanses of uniformly dense red maple like you get when you go further north. Most of our deciduous trees go from green straight to brown. We have to drive up to the Shenandoah Valley or thereabouts to see Fall as it should be. It's nice to still have sixty degree days into December, though.

By that time, we're usually hovering around the zero mark.
