Write Up:
Upon arrival, the park had very thick fog.  We found our sites, put the tents up and began cooking.  The next day we covered how/what to do to get a tent up by yourself, in tough conditions along with pitfalls to avoid.  Next we covered how to pack a backpack properly.

Afterwards, we hit the trails.  With vast amounts of rain over the previous weeks, the creek became a "waterfall" and it was a nice sight.

We enjoyed our campfires, food and made friends.  All in all, it was a pleasant weekend, even while Atlanta had nasty weather.

Told ya Ft. Mtn is a good place;)
