Gorges SP

Well today's hike didn't go as planned.  Started out on the trail to Rainbow falls.  Before getting to the falls everyone was warning us about yellow jacket nests and some were saying they got stung.  Right before getting there we saw a couple people that had just gotten stung.  So a friend and I decided to turn around and not continue in order not to get stung.  We went back down the trail a little ways and had lunch on a rock next to the water.  Then we continued back up the trail and took a side trail to Stairway Falls.  Then before turning to go back to the parking lot we went down Raymond Fisher trail for a little while and then turned around and headed back to the trailhead.  Ended up with 4.5 Miles and 745 EG.  In the picture below it's the dark blue line that we hiked today.

Victoria Bryant SP in Georgia

Hiked various trails in Victoria Bryant SP in Georgia today (6.9 Miles 571 EG).  Started out on Perimeter trail (parked by entrance to park), then did the inner loop trail to the connector trail, and a little bit of the perimeter trail before turning around.  We then took the interloop trail back to the Perimeter Orange trail before making it to the Broad River loop trail.  After completing that trail we headed back to the Perimeter Orange trail to head back to the car.  Had never been here so got a little turned around but made a good hike out of it.  Some of the trails were a little washed out but a nice park.
