Way back in 2001 my little "production company" No Big Wheel made a very cool video for the Swimming Pool Q's in Flash, by scanning in about 500 frame by frame photos, and animating them flip book style. It was for the reissue of "the Deep End", and it's a video for the song "The A Bomb woke me Up". Animation: Andy King, Props and Models: Lisa King and Michael Rucker. Photos by Steve Rucker.

My trip spending the weekend after my friend Michele's birthday, and before my friend Jeff Calder's birthday, and Thanksgiving, in the North Georgia Mountains. And celebrating how much I love all three! This is Cherokee land!

Amicalola, a Cherokee Indian word meaning "tumbling waters," is an appropriate name for these 729-foot falls ~~ the tallest cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi River. An 8.5 mile approach trail leads from the park to Springer Mountain, the southern end of the 2,135-mile Appalachian Trail. However, numerous other trails are available for shorter journeys. A beautiful lodge at the top of the mountain is popular with guests who prefer hotel-type comforts, while a 5-mile hike leads to more remote accommodations at the Len Foote Hike Inn.

The Ohoopee River dune system is unique to Georgia. The dunes are large oval structures, believed to have been formed by wind deposition of sand on the eastern and northern banks of rivers in south Georgia during the late Pleistocene Age (20,000 years ago). Several endangered plant and animal species live here, and it was also sacred to the Creek Indians.
