My wife Cathy and I wanted a nice leisurely hike with some nice views and an opportunity for a hammock nap. We headed to John's Mountain in North Georgia on December 23rd, and it fit the bill perfectly. About 6 miles round trip, the climb wasn't very strenuous, perfect day for hiking at around 50*, great little day hike.
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so kardinal_emilus of Hammock Forums, consider yourself flattered. My pictures are nowhere near as nice as yours but it was fun trying to capture the Sunstars.

Our pups, Gryff and Mojo came with and enjoyed themselves as well.

Part of the John's Mt loop shares treadway with the Pinhoti. Cathy and I have now hiked parts of all the major long trails in GA (I think)- AT, BMT, Bartram and Pinhoti

All in all a really nice trip. Not pictured were the sub sandwiches from Subway we packed for lunch- a real treat out on the trail. We're looking forward to more hiking over the holidays!
