January 17, 2009Hard Labor Creek State Park, GAThe Arctic blast has arrived but didn't keep us from going on a little trip. Actually, it was much warmer than I expected, with temperatures rising out of the teens into the 30s and 40s. Our first pit stop was Hard Labor Creek State Park - its lake was partially covered with a thin layer of ice, so most definitely no wading.
From here we headed to the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center in nearby Jasper County and walked the blue trail to the granite outcrop. The trail is not very well maintained and hard to locate with all the leaves on the ground, and I was pleased to see that Tessa sniffed it out with ease to and from. There were a few signs of life, in the form of feral hog damage to the trail, of which Tessa was especially fond - she tried to continued their work. Fortunately, the hogs had left, and all we saw were a few deer.
