Start Parking with an 18 year old is a different experience all together! Andrew just loved Three Rivers, it was very close to the Georgia state line. At the time, Georgia was his favorite state. We arrived at the park and got the lay of the land. We went over by the boat dock and down by one of the rivers. Then we went over to the hiking trails.
We hiked every trail that was opened in the park. There was a controlled burn going on in part of the park so we were not able to hike the trails in that section, which I did not mind at all. On our hikes, we could see where there were once streams flowing on the trails. There were nice bridges built to walk over the dried streams. Andrew could hike for miles and he did, we did. When given the choice, I would choose the shortest path to travel and somehow we ended up hiking the longest ones. I didn’t mind because we just laughed and admired the beauty of nature. He kept my snails pace, as best he could. Luckily Andrew is never on a mission to finish anything fast! Many hours past and although he could have stayed for days it was time to move on to the next park.
