Action News Primetime with John Pruitt: Georgia's Hidden Treasures

ATLANTA -- Channel 2 presents an all new Action News Primetime with John Pruitt: Georgia’s Hidden Treasures. Pruitt, along with Fred Blankenship and Jovita Moore, takes viewers on amazing adventures right here in Georgia.

First, Pruitt explores the beauty and history of West Georgia. He takes you on one of the longest tree top tours in the world. You’ll see the exciting bridges and zip line across the Snake Creek. He also shows you the area known as Banning Mills that sits beside the Snake Creek.

Channel 2’s Fred Blankenship discovers another interesting “tree” experience at Panola Mountain. Panola Mountain is designated as a national landmark; the same status awarded the Grand Canyon. Blankenship reveals where you can climb a 90 foot Southern Red Oak and have family adventures.

Jovita Moore, Channel 2’s 5 p.m. anchor, takes you to a 412-acre black lake that will take your breath away. She rides on a boat tour where you literally feel like you are floating back in primeval times.

“Reporting on Georgia's natural wonders is my idea of the perfect assignment,” said Pruitt. “It's a joy to travel to these scenic areas not only to capture their beauty for our viewers, but also to share the rich history that surrounds Georgia's hidden treasures.”

The reporter, Fred Blankenship, was fun to work with -- but one of the cameramen was nearly petrified when Swamp Fox got him up on a low limb. I can't wait to see how it all looks.

Thanks Jody and Bill for head ups on this upcoming report. Sounds cool.

Fred did an awesome job with the program, featuring a lot of kids climbing in the big red oak at Panola Mountain southeast of downtown Atlanta. The best part was the two or three seconds when the camera focused on your's truly...!

I meant to videotape it, but the daw-gone VCR didn't like the tape. Or maybe it liked it too much and decided to eat it. Whatever...!

Is there an actual link to the Video? I went looking for it this morning but did not find it anywhere on their web site.
I would love to see it.
