Kennesaw Mountain Hike

I hiked Kennesaw Mountain yesterday afternoon, and it was so awesome! A friend of mine from work met up Sunday afternoon, and we hiked the trail up, and then took the road back down. Next time we are going to take the longer hike. Of course on my way up I thought, I am never doing this again, but once I made it to the top, it was so awesome, and I can't wait to do it again. This is actually good training for the walk that I am going to be doing. I want to hike the mountain at lease once a week, and then when it starts staying lighter later, I want to hike it twice a week, once during the week on an evening, and once on the weekend. So....If any of you want to go, let me know because Jeff won't let me hike alone. Anyway, here are some pictures of my hike.




I took this picture as I was driving, so for those of you who have never seen Kennesaw Mountain (probably my cali friends) There it is.



Here is a picture I took from the top, the view of the city is amazing, and it was the most incredible beautiful day. It really helps you put things in perspective up there!






Ok, this is a horrible picture of me, but I had to prove that I was there, so here I am unashamed!






Here is another view of the other side on our way down. I can't wait to hike it when the flowers start blooming, oh my gosh it will be amazing.






If you look closely you can see two hawks flying. They were so big and beautiful, there were at least 3 or 4 of them hovering, so we think there was something "dead" that it wanted, but none the less, they were beautiful to watch as they glided up and down.

Very cool. I want to hike it with you sometime soon. I don't know, I might need CPR by the time I reach the top???
