Since it’s flooding all over Georgia lately, rivers are in the spotlight. There are some strange rivers around here, for example (from the National Weather Service Flood Warning today)
TUCSAWHATCHEE CREEK NEAR HAWKINSVILLE (looser say whatCHEE ?)
OCMULGEE RIVER NEAR ABBEVILLE (find me another name that has a C followed by an M)
OCONEE RIVER NEAR PENFIELD (Oh-Cone-EE), see below
CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NEAR WHITESBURG (I just like the HOOCHEE part of this one)
(Roots on the North Oconee River)
Here is a picture that I took of the Mesa Trail trailhead I mentioned in a previous post. The run was great, though I only made it 46 minutes up the trail (and made a wrong turn at one point which cost another 10 minutes). No idea how far in terms of distance I got. I need a GPS coordinate logging watch capable of taking photos along the run. That would be nice; and MP3 playing while we’re at it.

I’m am at the South Bend Main Library, waiting for Sarah so we can get on the plane. All the computers have cameras now so you get to see me waiting, as well as read about it.
My only thought at the moment is that the library charges $0.15 per page to print. This is outrageous.
In Colorado I’m planning on two trail runs.
Many runners consider this to be one of the best trail runs in the United States.
At 8,830 feet, Gem Lake lives up to its name. Granitic boulders, ledges and cliffs surround this small rain fed jewel. The trail travels along south and east facing slopes wandering in and out of a couple narrow canyons between granitic outcroppings. Interesting rock formations inspire the imagination. Several sections offer great views of Estes Park, Twin Sisters, Longs Peak, and the Continental Divide in Rocky Mountain National Park.
