Hi Everyone,
There were some drastic changes in my life this year. My favorite tubby cat passed away after a brief, tragic illness earlier this year. She died a year and two months after he sister died, probably from the same illness. Depression set in immediately and, out of concern for my well being, I decided to move in with my father and step mother impulsively.
Unfortunately, this move took me far from any state parks.
In addition, the phone I'd been using for photographs and recordings decided to stop working.
I have managed to go to a few more parks since the move such as F. D. Roosevelt, Georgia Veterans, George Bagby, and Kolomoki Mounds. With luck, I will be able to retrieve a few photos from each of these to post.
I won't be able to complete my personal challenge of visiting every state park this year, but I hope to visit the ones I have yet to go to in 2020.
As usual, I will go hiking on Christmas Day for my birthday.
I also plan to do another First Day hike next year. Perhaps Smithgall Woods again. That was a really nice place.
I also hope to get some bug screens for the 4Runner soon so I can camp in my car.
