Memorial day always falls on the weekend of or after my birthday. Historically, my birthday brings major life changes for me, good and bad (but all important).
This year was no different, shortly after my 30th birthday it became evident that my best friend of 16 years, Mary was getting worse by the hour. Over the next couple of days, I had to make the toughest decision, Ive ever had to make.
Later in the weekend, my friend Charly and I drove up to Jacks River trail and took Marys sister and Otis for a hike. I felt like the best way I could be with my dog is to be close to nature; something she was now a part of.
RIP baby!
This is one of my favorite hikes in GA, for quick directions, here you go Getting to Dally Gap
From Atlanta, take I-75 North to I-575 North. I-575 will turn into US 76. At the US 75/GA 5 intersection north of Blue Ridge, travel north on GA 5 toward McCaysville for about 3.8 miles. Turn left onto Old GA 2. Stay on Old GA 2 for about 10.5 miles. Old GA 2 is paved for the first nine miles or so. Take a hard right onto FS 22 and drive about 3.7 miles to the trail head at Dally Gap.
