The creeks and falls around the ravine at Little Mulberry Park were swollen from last night's heavy rain. Wojtek had ran the loop early this morning and then phoned me describing the eroded trails and dramatic waterfalls. I was planning a walk/run there today anyway, so I took a little extra time and brought my camera.

Just checking out IntegralNaked.com and watched a presentation by your childhood friend, Alex Grey. Always have loved his stuff and the way it reflects the beauty of transformational experience and the radiant glory of the human/spirit being. Watching it I thought of your blog and decided to visit.
Mulberry Park is wonderous, no? When I was doing tree work we did the trees at Hamilton Mill Golf Course and the Sugarloaf course. Both those areas had the same profound power and unfortunately all but the most secret places were 'dozed.
Hope all is well. See you on a ride someday.

Posted by: steven blondeau at March 28, 2005 10:51 PMI was aware of the ancient remains around the birth place of the Apalachee River (before it was the exclusive Hamilton Mill neighborhoods and golf course). It's interesting that only a couple of miles away is the still magical ravine near the birth place of the Mulberry River. Both Mulberry and Apalachee Rivers ultimately run into the Atlantic ocean. Only a few miles west, just past Crowes Lake, all creeks and rivers flow ultimately to the Gulf of Mexico, for example Suwanee Creek and Chattachoochee River.
