Woohoo! It works!

Here's the Google Earth gadget for our Coosa Backcountry Trail trip. If it starts to get slow, clicking on the post to open a separate window may help. See if you can find where Peanut was on the far side of the ridge and couldn't heard us...

PS. Please tell me if this loads slowly or is cumbersome, there are about 20,000 GPS points in this file since I didn't pare it down.

Google Earth Test Run - Cherokee Trail

This is my first try at embedding a Google Earth link in the blog.  If you don't see the earth below you'll need to download the Google Earth plug in.

A Run at Stone Mountain Park

So last weekend I didn't get to go on a hike, but we did go for a run - my second favorite activity in the whole world. We did a loop around the base of Stone Mountain park. I've hiked it many times but this was my first run. Petunia was with us so we went even slower than normal but aside from that it was fun. I was on a leash the whole time so the GPS info is pretty boring.

There was one fun surprise though from the GPS info - the Cherokee trail around the base of Stone Mountain is 4.89 miles, including the little walk to the car! That doesn't even round up to the 6 miles the park says it is.
