Camping trip
May. 24th, 2011 12:08 pmWe drove down to middle GA this past weekend, and camped two nights at Roosevelt State Park, and met up with friends, and visited the Little White House in Warm Springs. We took the rural route, driving down and back, and ate dinner in a very strange little local place in Monticello GA, and saw a bunch of tornado damage near Bainbridge.
The park is nice, but you can't swim in the lake, and it was hot. We did two hikes - one .8 mile loop hike around the campground, and the next day a 1.5 mile hike to a CCC stone-built swimming pool that is shaped like a bell (and was closed this year due to budget issues). There was whining on both hikes, but less on the second. I brought our Field Guide to the Southeast and we looked up various birds and bugs we found. we saw a bluebird, and nesting swallows, I think rough swallows, by the lake. There were cicada wings all over the place and the kids collected them.
We stuck our heads into Warm Springs, but there's not much there. We didn't go to Callaway Gardens, which is just adjacent, but they do have swimming there. Mostly just camping, simple stuff. For the first time Dillo did not basically sleep in my sleeping bag/on my head.
Now I need to get my head around a week in Dublin, Ireland, starting Saturday, where is it 59 degrees and raining (it's 95 and starting to be a drought, here.)
