A Georgia Treasure

I'd have to say that it has been a fun filled action packed weekend. It's not quite done but I wanted to post something before I left the house again. The highlight, or at least something totally new for me this weekend was the hiking trip a bunch of us took to Amicalola Falls.

Nestled just away just an hour from Atlanta is a majestic state park filled with trees, wild life, streams and a couple of waterfalls. I think we had a total of about 12 people there. A couple of my buds along with some peeps I haven't met before. We got up there around 11 and got our hike on for a few hours. The hike to the top of the falls is pretty gnarly. It's a huge set of stairs that they built so people could hike up. It took about 40 minutes or so to get up and then we chilled up there for a while before we took the long route back down.

When we got back down we had a little quiet reflection time and prayer session. It was a great way to say thanks to the man upstairs for this great place He has blessed us with.

All in all a great day with a bunch of cool folks....

Here's some pics with even more right here
