Скачать или смотреть Exploring Pine Mountain & Warm Springs, Georgia: Where FDR went to Relax

This video explores the environment and towns of Pine Mountain, Warm Springs, Manchester, and Woodland, Georgia. Situated about 40 miles north of Columbus, Georgia, this area became a favorite of former President of the USA, Franklin D. Roosevelt (RIP).

"In 1921, Franklin Roosevelt contracted a paralytic illness, diagnosed at the time as poliomyelitis (later thought in a 2003 peer-reviewed retrospective study to be Guillain–Barré syndrome. He tried to regain strength in his legs by bathing and exercising in the warm water. His first time in Warm Springs was October 1924. He went to a resort in the town whose attraction was a permanent 88-degree natural spring, but the Meriwether Inn was described as "ramshackle". He had a cottage built in 1932 that became famous as the Little White House, where Roosevelt lived while president, because of his paralytic illness. He died there in 1945 and it is now a public museum. Roosevelt first came in the 1920s in hopes that the warm water would improve his paraplegia. He was a constant visitor for two decades, and renamed the town from Bullochville to Warm Springs. The town is still home to the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation (Roosevelt's former polio hospital) which remains a world-renowned comprehensive rehabilitation center including a physical rehabilitation hospital and vocational rehabilitation unit." - Wikipedia.org

A departure from the flatter or rolling hills of some of Georgia's farmlands situated in southern and middle Georgia, this route of about 80 miles / 133kms in length ascends 5,800 feet / 1,765 metres across rocky terrain that demands the attention of a rider at all times. This video is one where I really put the Cannondale Topstone Carbon Lefty to the test, more on that later in the coming review video.
