Greetings! Over the
course of four years I attended monthly meeting in Sandy Springs. Each time I
traveled Roswell Road to the meeting, which took place from 3:00-5:00 Wednesday
afternoons. Many times I passed a sign for a Forbes Big Tree Forest Preserve.
With regularity I wondered if the Preserve would be a good place for a run
before or after the monthly meeting. For one reason or another I never
took the time to stop and investigate. Last Friday, I was in the area, and
ahead of schedule. I decided to finally take a look around.
What a gem! It's a very
nice wooded trail along a small tributary of the Chattahoochee River. The park
has three small trails. In all there’s a 1.5 mile loop. To get in at least
three miles could prove tiresome. I’m not a big fan of going out and back and
then repeating, but this place is hilly and pretty, so it may make it worth the
effort. Also, there is real bathroom, as opposed to the port-a-lets often found
at park trails. I could have easily cleaned up before or after those Wednesday
meetings. Of course, I no longer attend those meetings. Nonetheless, it's good
to know though, in case I find myself that way again needing to exercise for
the day. Also, I am sure Shannan will love the trail. We can enjoy a walk
and really take time to appreciate the fabulous surroundings.
Explore Trails Sooner or
Later and then Run.
