Kennesaw Mountain is an historic Civil War battle site. The mountain overlooks the rail lines into Atlanta. This site was the defense line to protect Atlanta. Unfortunately, for the Atlanta defenders and Atalanta, Sherman took his army off the railroad north of Kennesaw and moved around Kennesaw on wagons unopposed and sacked Atlanta.
This is a nice flat piece of the trail. It winds through some woods for about 2 miles. It took about 3 miles of narrow up and down grades to get this point. This was our turn around point. We headed back after this. Moderate effort...
TJ snapped one of me at the top of the mountain. This is about one mile of uphill climb at the beginning of the hike. Downtown Atlanta is at my back.
TJ and Zach after the first mile. We went a total of about 6 miles out and back. Fun workout.
Favorite Stock Today: Cash. I did pick up some DSX last week near its 52 week low. I speculaed the botom for this one. Outlook is very good for this dry bulk shipper. At 24.50 per share and a $0.58 quarterly dividend - that is a 9.5 yield without growth. Lots of bad news about the economy last week. Cash is a good position unless you think you have spotted the bottom of the market.

look forward to taking this hike with you someday soon
How's it compare to Cloud's Rest? Speaking of, dig out your photos from that beast, and post a blog from that! I like Ryland more and more through this blog by the way =)
I remember taking a great hike with you and family when we spent a Christmans together. Isabella and family were there also. I'd love to hike it again.
Kisses
