Emily Rocks

The first of Emily's rocks was placed in Atlanta, Georgia at the top of the hike at Kennesaw Mountain

In April 2021, the first Emily rock was nestled off the beaten path and propped up in the base of a small tree at the end of the path up Kennesaw Mountain near Atlanta, Georgia. A few of Emily's aunts and cousins were on the hike as well.
At the top of the hike, Mom and Courtney placed the rock in nature.

Emily's Rock at the Holy Sepulchre and Jesus' Tomb - June 17, 2021

Emily’s rock toured Israel and on what would have been her 22nd birthday, her rock was carried to the Holy Sepulchre by her close friend and was photographed by Jesus’ tomb (picture in lower left).

Hiking Pictured Rocks

Making three stops along the way (as Emily loves her different angle shots) . . .

until picking the last place for her to continue on whatever her next adventure may bring . . .

 

An Emily Rock ready to be placed near Pictured Rocks in the Upper Peninsula on the National Lakeshore near Munising, MI.
First stop here is a little beach to the side of the path past Chapel Rock.
Stop #2 is this little overlook area
Had to do a little adventure trek to get to it -- see this action shot!
And the trek was worth it to settle on this cute lil artsy spot for her.
And Stop #3
. . . where I gave her a kiss and wave goodbye for now . . .
. . . the best spot and view to look out for however long I thought!

What I thought was most special —

A few minutes after leaving,  a group of guys on the beach went to go sit on that spot exactly and they huddle around looking at her and reading it.

A real tear jerker seeing that — she always knew how to make friends quickly!
