A Panorama Picture

I went back to Florence Marina State Park and messed around for a couple hours.

I snapped off a few pictures with a panorama picture I mind and this is how it turned out.

This was a total of 7 pictures that made this panorama view.
I thought it turned out pretty good. It could have used a little tweaking, but it’s ok without it.

Fort Mountain Lake in Georgia

This was taken 01/29/2011 while visiting Fort Mountain State Park in North Georgia. The video is of the lake.
There is still snow/ice on the lake!

01/29/2011 Fort Mountain State Park

**Continuing my 2011 project to visit all the state parks in Georgia**

Today was my visit to Fort Mountain State Park in North GA. Had to get on the road by 6:00am, but it was worth it. I did get to do a little geocaching while visiting the park.



It kind of surprised me that there was still snow on the ground! Not just a little either, there was patches of snow all over the park!



See the white of the far side of the lake? That’s snow (ice or both).



A shot of the lake right when I got there.



A view from an overlook just before getting to the park.

Had a Great time in North Georgia today! I plan to come back again and again!

I can't help but to keep looking at the pictures I took while on my 4 state park mission.

Can't wait to get back out there to visit a few more state parks!

01/08/11–First 4

4 down on my project for 2011. About 54 more state parks to go.

My 2011 Project

My project for 2011 is to visit all the state parks in Georgia!
First step was to get a annual state park pass so I can get into the parks without paying at the gate.

Not counting historic sites and other state run things, there are 58 (I think) state parks in Georgia. It’s $5.00 to park in a state park (usually) so $5.00 x 58 = $290.00. Granted, I’ve never paid the $5.00 to park or get into a park, but I usually go during the winter months and attendants are usually not present in these months.
The first 4 I plan to visit are:

1. Florence Marina State Park
2. Providence Canyon State Park
3. George T.. Bagby State Park
4. Kolomoki Mounds State Park

Stay tuned for pictures of the parks!

Sprewell Bluff State Park

I wondered up on this park while out geocaching the other day and made a waypoint in my GPS so I can find it again.
It looks like a fantastic place to come back to during the warmer months (I like parks and oceans during the colder months).
Other than the locals, I don't think it's all that well known.

12/24/2010 Out and About

Friday, Christmas eve, I set out to go exploring and get a little geocaching done but didn’t want to drive very far doing so.
I created a pocket query from geocaching.com for the area of High Falls, GA and 30 miles radius – just under 2 hours away.
Here are a few of the pictures I took while out yesterday.
