Georgia
Georgia runs from the mountains where the Appalachian Trail ends to quiet barrier islands on the coast. Somewhere in between is your Georgia, and nobody can describe it quite like you.

Who makes the best dish at your table when there is something to celebrate?
In Georgia, some of the best stories come out after the dishes are cleared and nobody wants to leave, and ToldForward gives you a way to keep those conversations, arguments and laughter included. Your words sit safely private while you live, then pass to the people you have picked, so they can recognize you in every line.

Georgia
The Appalachian Trail runs more than 2,190 miles between Maine and Georgia, so its southern end lies in the Georgia mountains. You do not need to hike it all to have a mountain story. Maybe you drove up for the fall color, or found a waterfall on a hot summer day. Tell about the trips that stayed with you, who came along, and what you talked about on the long ride home.
The Okefenokee Swamp, the headwaters of the Suwannee and St. Marys Rivers, is home to an estimated 15,000 alligators. On the coast, Cumberland Island, Georgia's largest and southernmost barrier island, protects beaches, marshes and maritime forest. What wild corner of Georgia do you know best? Describe the sounds, the light and the people who were with you there. Was it a quiet paddle, a boat ride with friends or a walk on the sand at low tide?
Some of the best stories get told over a long meal, after the dishes are cleared and nobody wants to leave yet. Who sits at your table? What gets served when there is something to celebrate, and who makes it best? Write down the recipes, the arguments and the laughter. One day the people you love will be glad to hear those conversations again in your own words, right down to who always asked for seconds.
