recreating

me and dog were gonna go climb kennesaw mountain today, but we got out there around 10 to find it absolutely packed, no place to park, not even along side of the road---we drove all the way around the perimeter of the park (which is not a short distance), before heading back down to the river --- which was nice and calm --- but depressingly run-down and ill-kempt at the paces mill/west palisades unit where u.s. 41 crosses the river --- trash cans overflowing --- restroom all messed up, missing fixtures --- we've got a long way to go to make the parks what they used to be
