We pulled out of FDR State Park this morning and headed for James H. Floyd State Park in northern Georgia just 3 miles southeast of Summerville. It’s our last stop before reaching the great mountains of Tennessee! Once there, we’ll disappear in the mountains for a much needed summer camping trip, staying put for a couple of months.
But, for now, we’ll continue to take photos of our adventure and post them once we get to Tennessee where we’ll have Wi-Fi available! Our Virgin Mobil had no signal at this park, sometimes, thats a good thing! We’re using Broadband2Go, which has been great for blogging, checking email to stay in touch with our friends that are following our summer travels, and it’s been available at most parks so far. There’s no better way to travel and see this great countryside, than to travel on roads other than the Interstate! I’ve always passed through Georgia and never really saw how beautiful it was until this trip. We planned this trip to take 12 days just to get from Florida to Tennessee! Never staying on the
road for more than 4 hours at a time.
Fat cat really enjoyed last nights activities! We know, we heard him prowling all night. It was all in good fun as we yelled, settle down, go to sleep Tigger! He’s never heard such noise before! His natural instinct kicked in and he was so ready to pounce on something, imaginary or otherwise. Okay, we’ve finally arrived! What a trip to James H. (Sloppy) Floyd State Park. But, first we went through Rome, Ga. Absolutely beautiful to say the least. A wonderful historic town. Just wait until you see the photos!
But, the real surprise was when we got to our next stop. I had pins and needles sticking in the bottoms of my feet! A two lane road so small our Class-C barely fit in both lanes and my other half simply solved the situation by driving in the middle of the road. Up, up and up till we got to our camping spot. Highest point in the park. Tonight we’ll have t-bone steak on the grill with baked potatoes the old fashioned way, on the fire pit. Since our Broadband2Go doesn’t have a signal, this blog post will be about two days late. 9:15pm, we had the ranger stop by and tell us to turn the music down! Hmmm, wasn’t loud at all. I guess the sound travels downhill? LoL’s
