AM - the 3 amigos and their dogs on the trails around the horse farms at sunrise. Temps in the upper 30's with some fog/mist rising in the pastures and ponds and for a moment the conversation stopped and it was just the sound our footfalls on the dirt/gravel road and the panting of the dogs and we were all "present". Mental snapshot filed and tucked away in my head for years to come.

AM - Currahee! Riley and I took a drive to north Georgia this morning to Currahee Mountain which was made somewhat famous by the HBO mini series Band of Brothers based on the book by Stephen Ambrose about E Company 506th Regiment 101 Airborne U.S Army - who trained at Camp Toccoa. The line from the show says "3 miles up and 3 miles down" but as it turns out it is actually 2.7 miles up and down. About 1000 feet in rise. Cold morning just 18 degrees when we started. Not especially steep or difficult if you are not trying to run quickly - Riley struggled a bit and we walked some of the steeper parts near the top. Took some photos and had some good father - daughter conversation.
