Welcome to August's issue!
We’re celebrating the great Georgia outdoors this month, and you’ll find several ways to explore our beautiful state in our pages.
Looking to beat the summer heat? A refreshing sip of spring water or a dip in one of the state’s natural springs can cool you off. Read more in this month’s Around Georgia, “Reflecting pools,” on page 20.
If hunting is among your favorite recreational pursuits, Georgia’s wildlife management areas offer forests, lakes, mountains and swamps for hunting and exploration. Turn to “Into the wild” on page 18 to learn more.
Ready to land a big catch in Georgia’s deep waters? Don’t let this article get away! Check out “A lifelong love of the sea” on page 16 to learn about Judy Helmey’s fishing charters off the coast. In business for more than 60 years, her company also offers sightseeing trips.
Other remarkable Georgians are featured this month, too. Meet Bill Eberlein, a Richmond Hill resident who hunts for megalodon shark teeth. See some of his fascinating finds and learn about his unusual job in Georgians at Work on page 15. Then turn to Hometown Heroes on page 26 to see how a Savannah couple promote the sport of running to improve their community.
Happy exploring!
