    We may have gotten our butts whooped, but we still We may have gotten our butts whooped, but we still had a fantastic time at the first inaugural Clayton Soapbox derby this weekend. We want to say a huge thanks to the Clayton Police Department, @visitclaytonga and @claytongagov as well as all staff and volunteers that made this happen! It was a ton of fun and we really hope to see this event back next year so we've got another shot!

    A snowy afternoon in March, Georgia weather doing A snowy afternoon in March, Georgia weather doing it's thing. It's not great news for all the new growth, but it's certainly a beautiful sight against the spring colors. #appalachia #wandernorthga #snow #georgia #exploregeorgia
    As we move into spring and start getting out on th As we move into spring and start getting out on the trail more, it's important to keep a few things in mind. There is nothing more tempting for us than the lure of unspoiled woods off the main trail. In our early 20s, and especially when we were just getting into the outdoors, we were incredibly guilty of this. We would constantly veer off trail. Or cut our own path from one switchback to another. Or we would want to sneak around or under or on top of a waterfall beyond the viewing area that was provided to us. We were completely naive to the impacts these acts had but now that we know better, we want to make sure we share what we’ve learned. Going off trail, especially if enough people start to do it in the same spot, can cause massive problems. The first and biggest of which is erosion. When we go off trail and start blazing new paths, we create erosion issues that can last for generations. We have to keep in mind that the trails that are in place and have been cut where they are were chosen to minimize impact to the environment and the ecosystem. The most common place we see this in switchbacks. Switchbacks are the longer, meandering S-shaped spots in the trail that help make getting up and down the steepest parts of a trail easier. However, what a lot of people do when we see the next switch back is to “skip ahead”. So instead of staying on the slow, gradual trail, they’ll go straight up or down and try to pick up the trail via a shortcut by cutting ahead. Going up and down like this in steep sections basically creates massive gullies when the rain comes and compounds erosion issues on the side of the mountain. Staying on the trail will not only make your hike easier and more enjoyable, but will prevent this type of long term damage that is hard to fix. Nature will usually heal these scars if given enough time and space, but she won’t be happy about it in the interim.
