Georgia Road Trip

Suzanne planned a NAWBO Presidents Retreat at Barnesley Gardens, Adairsville, GA for the weekend of March 11-13, 2005. Ever optimistic, Rod decided to drive down and pick her up after the retreat for some hiking in TN and VA on the way back to NJ. The weather cooperated with Suzanne for her retreat, but Rod was less confident after his first day of driving south that there would be any inclination for springtime hiking activities on the way back. Fortunately, we managed nice weather Monday afternoon on a rail trail, as well as a nice Tuesday before the storms came into VA. We didn't figure on as much snow as we found on the Blue Ridge Parkway, so had to backtrack to the interstate to get further north. The Natural Bridge was interesting, and going when there are not hordes of tourists is highly recommended.
