Ran the trails at Sawnee Mountain, Cumming Ga..

Gayle and I went on a 5.2 K trail run today and we visited INDIAN SEATS!! This is an Erosional Phenomena found atop Sawnee Mountain, Cumming Ga.
The Indian Seats are three structures on the edge of the rock face that resemble seats.It is an area that is thought to be ceremonial to the local Indians prior to the Trail of Tears. This area dates back to 500 BC.. So we were able to get a 5.2 K run in on a trail (wearing VFF KSO'S) AND got a history lesson..good day! This is also the site of an upcoming race for the Georgia Ultrarunners and Trail running society. (www.dirtyspokes.com/tr_races.php) Thought I would take a peek. Heres the link to todays run

Cool Alan!

I think the 3-seats look similar to other cut outs I've seen in the mountains that were formed at the bottoms of waterfalls.

I was wondering how the trails are around there, I run some of the Dirty Spokes races around Winder/Dacula area. How barefoot friendly does that seem to you ?
