arabiascape.
Three years ago, we bought a little slice of one of my happy places, called Arabiascape. I had ideas of putting a tiny house or yurt on the land and making it into a place where we could escape from the city. But life intervened. And Stonecrest became a (somewhat dysfunctional) city. So for now,
arabia.
Hoping that I will get to Arabia much more in 2019.

This week in our Arabian Adventures: Wednesday 2/14: A few weeks ago I saw the news about the Strava heat maps. Curious, I looked at the map for the area around Arabia and realized that a few of the places on my “I haven’t explored that but want to at some point” should be explored

This week in our Arabian Adventures: Saturday 2/3: A short hike with friends. While I really wanted to explore some areas I have not explored before, I didn’t want to push it after having been sick.

This week in our Arabian Adventures: Saturday 1/20: Almost a month since I’ve been out to Arabia. Far too long! Rob, Chloe, and I headed out early to go on a ranger-led geology hike (so Phelix had to stay behind). A group of about ten of us joined Ranger Meredith on a hike down the

This week in our Arabian Adventures: Monday 12/25: After a morning of gifts and bagels, I needed to get away from the chaos of people, tv, and being indoors. Phelix and I jumped in the jeep and ignored the chilly temperatures. Given the wind, I decided a hike up to Wilburn Farm would be our

This week in our Arabian Adventures: Wednesday 12/13: When you have a lot that adjoins the mountain, you can walk over in the dark. Tonight was the Geminid Meteor shower. Considering where to watch it, the mountain came to mind. We put on layers, grabbed flashlights, bought hot chocolate, and parked at our lot. We

This week in our Arabian Adventures: Friday 12/8: The weather report called for snow, so I prepped the dog and me to go out to the Arabia lot to see. When we got there, it was mostly sleeting, not snowing, and not sticking. We walked over to the lake, then went off-path up and around

This week in our Arabian Adventures: Saturday 12/2: A sunny Saturday. Perfect day to go out to the lot and paint the table. I’m not sure how such a garish color was chosen, but hopefully it will fade after some time. I played with Phelix while Rob and Chloe did the painting, then we walked

This week in our Arabian Adventures: Monday 11/27: Since we were at the cabin most of last week, Phelix and I only made it out to Arabia once this past week. On Monday, we took a friend out to the lot. As we approached the driveway, there was a group of people walking along Rockland.

Arabia Mountain. Along with Pine Lake (and possibly Cape Cod), this place is one of my heart’s homes. Most people don’t get it. A rocky outcrop in the city. Noise pollution (highway, police firing range, ATL landing route). Never too far from populated areas. But Phelix and I have found our special places here. Special

Lovely morning on the mountain.

I don’t get to Arabia much in July, so I was happy for a cooler day and a trip to the mountain.

The flowers at Arabia rarely disappoint…

Even though it is September, I’ve only been able to get to the mountain a couple of times. Between getting Camille off to school and the hurricane, it’s been hard to get out there. Soon, soon.

Arabia. Simply surreal.

It was a wonderful day when it was finally cool enough to return to the mountain after an extra-long summer.

One of my absolute favorite places!
grading the arabia lot.
Back on December 21st, we closed on my Arabia lot. What a mess. The land was disturbed beyond imagination. First step, even if we do nothing else, was to have it graded. What a production.
