New Hobby Time...Backpacking!
My wife and I have enjoyed going up to Amicalola Falls and Kennesaw Mountain for day-hikes for about as long as we've been together. There's just something about being out in nature that recharges your batteries for another week or month of work or school. So recently I have been wanting to expand our hiking adventures to more of a backpacking adventure than just a standard day-hike.
Amicalola Falls :

Kennesaw State University has a fantastic library where I was able to check out several books on trails in North Georgia - turns out there is quite a few! I'm very excited to be in a state that has so many great looking trails to blaze. I'm probably going to start out with easy to access trails with accessible campgrounds so that we can get used to the idea of backpacking.
I have always wanted to do the Appalachian Trail though, it's been a goal of mine for several years. For that, I'll need a lot better gear and more time in the gym getting my endurance up. If you want to send me some Christmas presents - make it backpacking gear that you can find here!
