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.
