The CK Daily – A Grand Road Trip!
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! I’m back from my road trip across Georgia and I have to say, it was absolutely amazing! I’ll probably tell some stories from the trip over the next couple of weeks, but the summary is that it was incredible!
We used a camper van as our mode of transportation which was a totally new experience for me. I was slightly nervous about it just wondering how the van would drive, would we feel cramped, would we break down, etc, but it turned out to be a great experience! The van drove super smooth and the huge windshield up front definitely helped the time pass quickly when we were on the road (which was over 17 hours!).
The only downside was that it did not have A/C at night and the first 2 nights were spent in south Georgia which was HOT. We utilized some box fans to get a little airflow which definitely helped!
We started hitting the 7 natural wonders on Wednesday morning at the Okefenokee Swamp Park. We saw lots of alligators and way too many spiders!
Then we headed towards Albany and checked out Radium Springs which had the most beautiful, clear blue water I’ve ever seen! The radium content is responsible for the color and it’s stunning to see!
Finally, we hit Providence Canyon which has been on our bucket list for years. The scenery there is so different than anywhere else in Georgia. It felt like we were out west in the desert!
The next day we headed to Columbus to check out Warm Springs. Unfortunately, the springs were closed, but we got a personal tour of Roosevelt’s Little White House and it may have been the highlight of our trip!
After that, it was off to Stone Mountain where we missed the last skyride car as it got shut down due to wind (bummer). So we headed north to Amicalola Falls which was stunning as always.
The next day we went to Tallulah Gorge which is a favorite spot of ours. Since we clearly needed to pack more into this trip, we also made a quick stop at Toccoa Falls before heading back to Atlanta to try again at Stone Mountain! Luckily we were able to catch a ride to the top and get the views we were hoping for!

Learning Center Article – Importance of Fiber Optic Cleaning
Installing fiber optic systems is not easy. It requires multiple levels of expertise in design and application, and its why fiber optics experts are always in high demand. While installations will vary heavily depending on the components and applications at play, there is one thing that is necessary for every installation, and it’s easy to overlook. Every system needs fiber optic cleaning to ensure that it will work properly.
