03-19-13 Starting Together

My mom fixed us a hearty breakfast. We made sure all the gear was in order and made the hour drive to Amicalola Falls state Park.

We signed the registry and weighed our bags--mine was 23 lbs B's was 25! Then made our way to the foot of the falls.

We reached the stairs and my parents said their farewells. We reached the top of Springer Mountain in the evening, enjoyed the view and set up camp a short distance away near the Springer Mountain Shelter.
