atlanta: arabia mountain

time for a change.
As much as Phelix loves his happy place (Phelix’s Glade) and I love to take him there, I realized that it is time for us to add more places to our hiking roster. While it is *easy* to go to the same place over and over and not have to think about what we’ll encounter
