Vogel State Park & Helton Creek Falls
I went on a 7.5 mile hike with Roman today. We hiked from the Vogel State Park Trailhead up to Bear Hair Gap Trail and then to the Coosa Backcountry Trail to almost the peak of Slaughter mountain and then back.
And yes, I took a bunch of pictures of Roman for his fans out there - you know who you are, so comment on this post.
Oh and we saw another bear on this hike! It had it’s frightful moment but we lived to tell about it.
After the hike, we visited the Helton Creek Falls nearby.

Take the stairs because the elevator has had it or it’s a crime scene

Jason and Omar in New York City
I had to post a picture of the cutest redhead in New York City:
Jason
This picture was taken after we walked in the heat from the subway to the restaurant. We were trying to cool off with a watermelon bellini.
Isn’t he adorable?

Happy Hour to Cool Off
Enjoying a cool 2-4-1 cocktail to find respite from the unbearable
heat in NYC.
Psycho Babble at Therapy
Jason took me to see Psycho Babble at Therapy which, of course, means hearing a splattering of lackluster applause for the hostess herself, Miss Mimi Imfurst.
With Portia at her side, these girls don’t lip sync but actually sing a bunch of great songs. Mimi’s quite creative when changing the words to songs making them much funnier than the original.

Blood Mountain Hike
Roman and I hiked in the Blood Mountain Wilderness, the Chattahoochee National Forest and even a couple of miles on the Appalachian Trail (AT) today.
We wanted to get away from the city and enjoy some great views and hiking. We found out quickly that: On the AT on Blood Mountain a rock shelter stands, and of this trail the USFS says: ” . . . the most heavily used portion of the AT in Georgia.”
We started on the trail from Lake Winfield Scott, took a right to catch the Jarrard Gap Trail up to Jarrard Gap. From there, we hiked the Appalachian Trail (AT) up to the peak of Blood Mountain. After enjoying the spectacular views from the peak, we continued on the AT down the other side of the mountain to the Freeman Trail. This difficult and rocky trail led us back to the AT and to the start of the Slaughter Creek Trail which we took back to the parking lot at Lake Winfield Scott. We hiked for almost 6 hours.

The Other “O”
Island Ford Hike
I went hiking without Terminally Single Tim, who couldn’t join me today. I got there, paid my $3 for a day pass and then quickly proceeded to lock my keys in my car. 
After much time and effort (Thanks Eric!!), I actually hiked the Island Ford Trail at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
