I am pleased to report the American Wilderness is alive and well in Atlanta, Georgia.
I took my second trip of the year out to this area and spent a lot of time hiking in neighborhood parks close to the North Druid Hills area. Next time I go, and if you go, I recommend checking out the Hahn Woods area. I didn’t get a chance to actually go into it, but I drove past it and it looks like it has all the elements of a Muir-like retreat.
Where I did go:

I took most of the pictures on my trip during a behind-the-scenes zoo tour my friend arranged for us. It might be beyond the scope of this blog, so I am deciding what to do with them. More information later as I find the time…
