Hitchiti Forest

Full name: Hitchiti Experimental Forest
This is a forest that scientist burn (in different spots) every couple of years to see how fire affects plant growth. The forest is in the middle of nowhere as it should be as to not endanger people. Along the river and tributaries that go through the forest are carved out rocks that can be walked along to travel down the waterways. Though fun, traveling this way can be can hard and impractical. I found this out the hard way luckily though I didn't fall in like bryson did lol.

Jackson Springs Park

This is a picture of Jackson Springs Park behind Kroger on Gray Hwy. The park is named after a very wealthy man who donated the land to the city after he died. At one point the park was much larger and was actually a zoo. Over time time the park has been slowly made smaller as the city uses its land for developmental purposes. Many of the benches and walkways of the park are very old. In some places you can see the old ceramic pipelines sticking out of the ground.. Despite its old look the park is beautiful.

My Favorite Lake

My favorite lake is probably Lake Winnepesaukah in Rossville, Ga. This is my favorite lake because when I young my church used to take us to an amusement park there. I always had the best time there even though of the dozens of times that i went they never got new rides. I guess the thrill came more from the time that I spent with friends and family and not the thrill of the rides.
