We had a great first day and night.  And the 6 days we spent in Georgia were pretty great. <\/p>\n<p>Georgia was tougher than I expected. The elevation changes are much<br \/>\nmore difficult than Pennsylvania. But, the scenery certainly made up for the tired legs. There were a lot of soft trails with big pine trees and gentle streams.  As well as the all too often chute right up the side of a mountain.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always thought of myself as coming from the mountains, but Georgia really has mountains.  And they go in as far as the eye can see.  <\/p>\n<p>Most importantly after a brutal winter in the northeast,  Georgia showed so much life just ready to pop.  We saw some flora not typical of the northeast (I&#8217;m sure my mom will correct me if I&#8217;m wrong).  Lots of trillium&#8211;the only picture I&#8217;ve taken. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hnatow.com\/happytrails\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140424-183157.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hnatow.com\/happytrails\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140424-183157.jpg\" alt=\"20140424-183157.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size- \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Climbing out of Georgia into North Carolina was probably the tough day for me so far.
