We all grinned like fools the entire time we were there and left feeling even happier. Some day I hope to have a rescue doggo of my own. Until then, there's Woofstock!

May 5 - Woofstock!
My daughter and I love going to local festivals and our favorite one is the great doggie festival held in Gwinett County, Woofstock! It's loads of fun with a lure course set up, dock diving dog competitions, and agility exhibitions, not to mention contests! Another great thing is that the vast majority of the merchant booths there are for local animal charities and I love to support as many as I can. I basically go to give a bit of money away for good causes! Good times, great fun, tons of happy doggos, and good causes! What could be better?

April 28 - Moccasin Creek 11/47
I decided to go up to Moccasin Creek State Park having forgotten everything about it from last time. Got there and went, "Oh right, this place." It's the oddest park, being little more than an RV campground and fish hatchery on Lake Burton. Here's the thing, if you wanna go hiking at Moccasin Creek, you actually have to leave the park.
But Hemlock Falls is worth it.
The trail is across the highway on USFS land. The first 1/4 to 1/3 of the trail is... unfortunate. Garbage is everywhere. People camp where they like. And flies, at least when I went, were in abundance. Once you get past the yuck part, the trail becomes a real gem.
This snake was so still, I feared he was dead! But he was more afraid of me than I was of him.
Not sure on the type of snake here. I didn't hang around to find out and neither did he.
The CCC ruins are barely there. I can only guess where the buildings were placed in the clearings.

April 25 - Tallulah Gorge 10/47
Wasn't feeling so spectacular today, but I still wanted to take advantage of the nice weather so I headed up to Tallulah Gorge State Park, one of my favorite spots in Georgia. I quickly realized I wasn't up for doing the stairs so instead ventured down the road to the south side of the gorge, an area I haven't spent much time at. It's definitely a different perspective on the place!
I walked under the old bridge and looked at the graffiti and kind of abandoned atmosphere the area had. It was a bit surreal.
