Georgia trees are towers


At 5000 feet, the temp drops

Rain turns to pure snow

Pushing worries low


Daylight grows stronger

Land below peeks out

not much longer! 

effort bests doubt


A bad day to hike

weather not ideal

A good day to hike

the summit surreal

The next day just so happened to be Sunday which is when the local swing dance club has their free classes. My roommate Ian is also learning so we went...
