Labor Day Weekend is a big weekend at Fort Gibson Lake as many people take advantage of the three-day weekend to say goodbye to summer. The temperatures are in the 70s and low 80s this weekend so it’s a nice time to be outdoors. I took this picture of the sunset over Taylor Ferry NorthContinue reading “Sunset Over Fort Gibson Lake”

I wasn’t able to make it to the event because I live about 800 miles away now. But recently, an American Beech Tree was planted at the New Echota Historic Site near Calhoun, Ga.

Once upon a time, my school would take trips to SpaceCamp in Huntsville, Ala. It was about 120 miles away from where I grew up so they’d usually do the trips on Saturdays or during Spring Break.

Spend Some Time At Centennial Park
Centennial Park located in downtown Atlanta was originally designed as a tourist attraction during the 1996 Summer Olympics. But it would soon become the infamous site of a terrorist attack by Eric Rudolph. It would also set off a media frenzy in which Richard Jewell, a security guard would be blamed for the attack. HisContinue reading “Spend Some Time At Centennial Park”

The top of the flood is 582 feet and that’s only 11 feet from reaching the top of the Fort Gibson Dam. However, I don’tContinue reading “Fort Gibson Lake Rising”
