Hajj

Today was the day we made our first ever boxing pilgrimage to Mecca, err, Stone Mountain Park. We knew there were a lot of boxes there and decided it was time to make a trip.

What we really did was pick up a couple boxes on the drive to the park, including our first of the massive Paul Frank is Your Friend series that is scattered all around Gwinnett County. The rules on this are basically that these boxes are hidden in various parks around the county and that there is no more than one per park. The clues are not simple so it is quite a challenging series.

Once in the area, we actually parked in Stone Mountain Village and walked into the park on the PATH trail, picking up a box on the way in, before starting up the Walkup Trail to the top of the mountain. Then the fun began. We were juggling clues, crossing back and forth (who knew there were multiple gum covered poles?), going up and down and poking under all kinds of rocks, big and small but all in all, it is a really enjoyable, though tough, walk up the hill. We found 6 of the 8 boxes we looked for on the mountain and 9 total for the day.
