North boundary trail @ guard gate hiker/biker fun

4 hike buds & 2 dogs took off from parking area at old white guard gate off OR turnpike. The main gravel trail led uphill and was a pretty & pretty steep nice trail for hiking biking and running. At the top u can see out and pass a blue water tower. We kept going as we were talking so much we missed trail on left we planned to take called Gallagher trail. We looped back to it 45 minutes later. It is narrow pretty path thru the woods and easy.
We came out on another gravel road close to a quarry and went left and ended up mile 1/2 later on turnpike close to our cars. I am excited to go back w my mountain bike as it looks pretty non technical and "doable" for my fit fun buds I went on www.outdoorknoxville.com. To find link to trails

Mysterious guests at Victoria Inn

Mysterious masked women fresh off "Cresent" train from N.O. Appear in dining room of Victoria Inn. Or maybe it's just w all that scrumptious food (crab cakes, sword fish, shrimp grits. Red snapper w Brussels sprouts, filet etc ) the ladies were disguising themselves afterwards :). ......
We did enjoy scenic Amtrak from N O
Today then superb meal at Victoria Bikinis to Cedartown tomorrow

Green w envy @greenhouse inn

When our "fit fun buddy's bike" group arrived at the Greenhouse Inn in New Orleans we gasped at how pretty and cool this place is. 3 story green house built in early 1900's this 10 bedroom house is an oasis behind its gates.
The rooms comfy and nice, all w bath and refrig. Outside the lower rooms we could walk out to a pool w waterfall and hot tub and gardens that has the true "wow" factor. Owner Jessie a delight and helpful. We were sad to leave

Bucket List Hike Max Patch

Yes indeed it is one of THE best SPOTS in Eastern US to hike

I"m talking about Max Patch in Pisgah forest off Harmon Den Exit past newport and before Waynesville off I 40
  Go up 6.2 miles and turn towards left on this gravel road and in 1 mile you see the trail head.  !!! And in half mile you're on the top of the one of the most spectacular balds and views you'll ever see!!

after hike I went to Hot Springs and hiked AT w/ my youngest Gracie and buddy Reilly 

We hiked up then out towards Lemon Gap on the AT  but even the 3-4 mile loop around the base then across the Top is a great hike!!
