Silver Comet Trail March 2022

Silver Comet trail is a very wide trail with a lot of amenities on the Atlanta Georgia side. On Sunday there was also a lot of traffic; walkers, bikers, skaters, skateboards....

We biked most of it except for the part where the trail left the train grade and became super hilly after Nathan Dean Park trailhead. From the Alabama side we lost the trail just on the other side of the Cedartown Welcome center where the neighborhood was interesting. It looked like some economic development was at the beginning stages and some houses were starting to be rehabbed. It might be nice to visit there in a couple of years and see the change.

We picked up a Silver Comet trail map in Rockmart. Nice town. Interesting stone buildings. This is one of the best trail maps I've seen. Decorative and informative.

Rome GA March 2022

Some brochures I picked up while we were vacationing in Rome GA from 3/26-3/31/22.

We just blindly picked Rome GA but it is a very nice town with lots of amenities and very close to the trails we wanted to bike. Rome also has lots of trails which we didn't explore except for one because we were biking the Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga trails. We wanted to see the world's largest overshot water wheel at Berry College but it looked like it was closed until May. Don't listen to GPS. Probably best way to get to Rome is to take 278 from 65. We prefer to avoid 24 due to super high traffic volume.

On our last day in Rome, we walked the Mt. Berry trail. There was a guy fishing in the pond. Mostly farmland on one side. There were some sitting swings on the riverside. Sun was really hot and it was windy. It will be really neat when this trail connects to Ridge Ferry Trail.

We drove through Cave Springs a couple of times on the way to parts of bike trails. It looked really interesting.

Anyway lots of things to see and do in and around Rome GA.
