Western America may have the Rockies but the Southeast has the Appalachians, Blue Ridge, and Cohutta.

1. Cloudland Canyon State Park 

Cloudland Canyon State Park is truly up in the clouds. This site offers various levels of trails from easy to hard. The West Rim Loop Trail is one of the most used trails. Rounding out near 5 miles the trail gives a wooded forest experience and miles of views off the many overlooks.

2. Tallulah Gorge State Park

Tallulah Gorge State Park is home to Tallulah Falls. Right outside the border of South Carolina, Tallulah Gorge State Park is family friendly and offers year round activities. The stairs are strenuous, but the views are worth it.

3. Fort Mountain State Park

Fort Mountain State Park has an activity area for everyone from horseback riding trails, biking trails, miniature golf, and so much more. Exploring this area you'll see the legend of the Moon People, and the rock wall. This park offers 70 seasonal camping sites, and access to a 17-acre-lake.

4. Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park

Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is not actually counted as a state park but it is a hot spot for all the outdoors people. This park was once the site of a 14 day bloody Civil War battle. Kennesaw Mountain has a secondary mountain beside it called Little Kennesaw, this site has an overlook that can be driven up to.

5. James H. (Sloppy) Floyd State Park

James H. (Sloppy) Floyd State Park is lies between Summerville and Lyerly, Georgia. There are 5 miles of trails available to the public, along with other activities such as fishing and geocaching. The real prize is at the end of the "Marble Mine Trail" where an old mine is located.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
