November 2012 | |
 Greetings!
Wow! October was a whirlwind of a month which brings me right into November, the month that marks the beginning of the season of great recognition for all those things for which we are thankful. First, I am most thankful for my health that enables me to 'Live My Life to the Fullest!' I am having so much fun, feeling so very, very good, enjoying all my new and old friends and having a fantastic time on each exhilarating adventure, not to mention all that is yet to come...wow!!!
This is one of my highlights for October...I entered the L.L.Bean 100 Years of Exploring the Outdoors Gear Giveaway, and I was a winner...Check out my entry, and see the gear I won!
Also, I am truly blessed and plan to continue to be a blessing to others, particularly as we enter this season of thanks and giving of ourselves, I encourage you to do the same.
P.S.: Sorry for the tardiness of this newsletter, I have really been super busy with adventures and more importantly my businesses...business is really great! Thanks for your patience and understanding with me!
Stay updated through our calendar and my blog, not to mention my most popular Meetup group. |

Black Rock Mountain Hike
Saturday, November 3rd Rating: Moderate Distance: 2.2 Miles
Departure: 8:00a.m. Sharp
(Approx. 1.5 hour drive) Meeting Location: Hong Kong Market 5495 Jimmy Carter Blvd. Norcross, GA 30093 (Get Directions) The Tennessee Rock Trail, the one we will hike, winds its way through some of the highest and most lush forests. It is the park's most popular hiking trail. The trail offers a perfect opportunity to get better acquainted with the area's rich woodlands and vistas, that on clear days span over 80 miles into the neighboring states of both North and South Carolina, as well as Tennessee, including views of Georgia's Brasstown Bald and Clingman's Dome in Tennessee. Check out the photo just taken last Friday, October 26, 2012. It was even more stunning in person! We will walk a quarter-mile following the Eastern Continental Divide. This great ridge separates rainfall flowing eastward toward the Savannah River and the Atlantic Ocean from rainfall trending westward toward the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico...wow! Remember learning about the 'Continental Divide' in school. This is where I get a chance to showcase my Interpretive Guide training :). Read more... As always, wear comfortable shoes (no new shoes!) and layered clothing. Bring plenty of water, snacks and your lunch.

I thought plans would be finalized by now. I expect to have them finalized to make the first announcement on the hike, then I will send it out to everyone through the newsletter and online posts.
