good old stone mountain.
in an effort to prepare for some summer hiking excursions, derek and i rustled up the willing lidkids for a saturday hike at stone mountain. we took the route that begins with a steep climb, which resulted in a lot of grumbling and breaks. eventually, we were at the top, where we took a nice […]

march mayhem (madness was taken).
