More wandering around "The Bend"

So I spent another hour or so wandering around the Chattahoochee Bend Stat Park.  I picked up the end of my last walk and took it a little farther.  The water shed that had the nice granite slide last time was dry, but it did give me a chance to find the start of the stream.  It looks like it would be quite pretty if you came through after a heavy rain.  There is a very cool tree that appears to be rooted on both sides of stream with the water flowing under tree trunk.

One crop of bolder included a mini "Fat Man's Squeeze" (yes I did fit).  Many of the stones at the top of the bowl had a very heavy moss cover that was quite lush.  There were a bolder and a tree locked in a battle for the same piece of ground.  Looks like the battle has been under way for 50+ years, and they may have just called a truce.

Of all the things I stumbled across, my favorite was the small pine tree growing out of the granite rock.  There wasn't any dirt or  other plants just a sole tree growing out of a large chunk of granite.  Just shows that determination make anything possible.

Exploring Chattahoochee Bend State Park

So right around the corner from me is a big state park.  The park is under construction, but there are still lots of old logging roads to explore.  Me, Lenny, and Allie took off for a couple of hours and wondered around a bit.  We found alot of exposed granite as well as a few neat trees.  I think we might start heading over there once a week or so to see what else we might find.

If you want to see the route we walked, you can get more details here: http://gpsed.com/track/6753547611485028634

Anyway, I've lost count, but here's a picture anyway. It's a little water fall just around the corner from the house.

Day #15: Smoking is bad for your bulbs.

So I saw a video of this somewhere, and thought I'd give it a shot. Here's what happens when you burn a lightbulb without a glass globe.
