The last week end was pretty busy. I am writing this while it is pouring down, Frances finally arrived in Atlanta. Total rainfall should be around 4-5" between yesterday evening and tomorrow morning, flash floods expected.

Saturday, in addition of having fun in the pumpkins, we started by the north Georgia mountains, in Amicalola Falls state park:
