Shoals Falls at Walden Creek – Dahlonega, GA.
I know in the episode I said Walden Creek Falls. I tend to screw that stuff up in the moment. It’s Shoals Falls at Walden Creek according to the Google Maps. The Alltrails app calls it the Walden Creek Waterfall Trail. So I decided to combine the two which seems more accurate to me. Godfrey…

Canada Creek Falls – Suches, GA
It was another beautiful mid-spring day with bright sun and temps in the 60s. Godfrey and I started out the hike around 9:30 am. We were set for what was billed as an easy 4 mile hike that followed a couple creeks with some waterfalls to view… according to Alltrails. This was not correct. The…

Three Forks Trail – Clayton, Georgia
It was an absolute perfect day for a long hike. Godfrey and I ventured a couple hours from home to a trail near Clayton, Georgia. It was a cool morning. The temperature was a little over 50 degrees and maybe hit 60 by the time I was done. This trail is overloaded with giant rhododendrons…

Fort Yargo State Park – 2023-03-14
It’s Pi Day! I’m at Fort Yargo State Park, in Winder, Georgia. It’s my first hike on this podcast without my Dog Godfrey. So, I apologize for the lack of Godfrey Pics. The trail beings with a new bridge that I didn’t know existed. It was a perfect day for a later winter hike. The…

Leap Day at Leatherwood Creek Loop, Toccoa, GA.
It’s Leap Day! Not that it’s anything special honestly and it’s not why I decided to go on a hike. It’s been a while and Godfrey and I needed to get back outside on the trails. It was a brisk morning around 40 degrees. The trail, part of the Chattahoochee National Forest, began with an…

2023-12-14 – Watson Mill Bridge State Park
The audio for today’s podcast is cut off. Like an idiot I didn’t bring extra batteries for my recorder and the battery died 17 minutes in. So, unfortunately, you won’t be subjected to my incessant prattle. I decided to post what I have anyway. See the pics and watch the YouTube video below for more…

2023-11-28 – Montgomery Falls – Dahlonega, Georgia
I went for a hike to Montgomery Falls with my dog Godfrey for my 57th birthday. The hike to the falls is a little short so we extended it a little by going a half mile or so past the falls to another creek crossing. In all we did a little less than four miles…

2023.10.19 Bearden Falls – Dahlonega, Georgia
I was a great fall day for a hike. Temperatures were in the mid 50s with a slightly overcast sky. I picked this trail for the waterfall and while the hike was relatively short it was a lot of fun. The hike is fairly easy until you get close to the falls. To get to…

2023-06-13 Dead Man’s Branch to Contentment Falls and Trestle Trail
We had a great hike today. We went roughly 6 miles, saw a beautiful waterfall, a pretty cool train trestle (I annoyingly keep saying trellis in the video & audio because I couldn’t think of the word while recording), and got off track a couple times. To start I couldn’t find the trail head. The…
