We hiked in Georgia on our trip! It made it more fun to have a hike planned at the end of the first day of traveling. And even though it was hot and humid, we hiked the S & S Rails to Trails Greenway.
It was a Sunday afternoon and we only saw 2 other people and no bikes, which was a surprise.
The trail has swamp on both sides so you couldn't stand still long to take photos are the 'skeeters' would carry you off.
But it felt good to be walking after driving all day.
One of the funny parts was getting to a tunnel and deciding it was a good place to turn around.
Lo and behold, when you looked up the grassy slope, there was an Olive Garden!
Cracker Barrel and a Mexican restaurant were in full view too. If we hadn't been tired and sweaty, we could have walked right up there and eaten dinner. (we stopped and got KFC chicken on our way to the Hampton Inn instead and enjoyed eating in our room though... a girl needs a refreshing shower before dressing for dinner in her pjs! lol)
Taking a hike was definitely a fun part of the trip.
Have you ever walked on the Rails to Trails paths? They sure are nice!
This flower was blooming like crazy in big shrubs along the trail.
Does anyone know what it is?
Thanks Angie for the ID on this beautiful flower!
Its St. John's Wort!
