April/May Hiking Trip.

Day 2. Monday, April 29th.

Tallulah Gorge State Park, GA.

My photos.

The Shortline bike trail was the best part of this day. We rode it twice. FINALLY got some quiet time in the woods. This place is SO noisy from the highway, but the Shortline was cool, quiet and pleasant.

This day was a huge disappointment. the place has a ton of rules and a schedule for water releases. We planned our entire trip around hiking the gorge using their schedule. We get their early Monday morning (only 100 passes per day allowed) and were told they're decided to extend the water release. WTF?! This is actually the 2nd time this happened to us. The first was on another trip and we detoured 200+ miles to hike the gorge, but it started sprinkling when we arrived and they closed it. And the girl at the campground was rude that day, so we didn’t even camp. Don't think we'll go back here again.

Ahh, summertime. Blissful relaxation, fun in the sun and backyard BBQs.

But don't forget that Timmy's baseball tournament is coming up and Dad will be out of town on his golfing trip this weekend. And good luck planning that BBQ around visiting day at summer camp.

Don't give up on family bonding time this summer. Before you cancel that trip to Disney World, try coordinating using one of these social networks.

Have you ever just wanted to walk into the national forest, set up your tent, and go camping? Well lucky for you, you can!

This is known as "dispersed camping," which is any camping done outside of a developed recreation site. Here in the Wayne National Forest, dispersed camping is allowed almost everywhere. In fact, there are over 240,000 acres of your public land open to dispersed camping!

There ARE a few key places, however, where it’s not allowed. You cannot disperse camp in developed recreation areas and developed campgrounds, and you also cannot disperse camp in areas marked as day-use only. Otherwise, go for it!

Dispersed camping is a great way to have a quiet, secluded nature experience. Oh, and did we mention it’s FREE! If you do go dispersed camping, don’t expect any services. There won’t be bathrooms available. There won’t be water available. There won’t be any trash cans, so you’ll need to pack out everything you pack in.

We get their early Monday morning (only 100 passes per day allowed) and were told they're decided to extend the water release. WTF?! This is actually the 2nd time this happened to us. The first was on another trip and we detoured 200+ miles to hike the gorge, but it started sprinkling when we arrived and they closed it. And the girl at the campground was rude that day, so we didn’t even camp. Don't think we'll go back here again.

April/May Hiking Trip.

Day 2. Monday, April 29th.

Tallulah Gorge State Park, GA.

The Shortline bike trail was the best part of this day. We rode it twice. FINALLY got some quiet time in the woods. This place is SO noisy from the highway, but the Shortline was cool, quiet and pleasant.

This day was a huge disappointment. the place has a ton of rules and a schedule for water releases. We planned our entire trip around hiking the gorge using their schedule.
