The drive north to Fort Mountain State Park took us through the craziness of Atlanta where we spent at least a half hour "swimming" in a sea of trucks. As you crawl along at 10 to 15 mph, you can almost watch the gas tank empty. Speaking of gas, we were heartened to see that prices have come down a bit. We paid $3.24 per gallon yesterday with the Fuel Rewards discount we use. Once we got off the Interstate, the ride was great. The scenery in northern Georgia reminded us both of New England, rolling hills lined with springtime blooming trees, and greening fields.
Since we arrived here a day late due to our slide issue, we set up and decided to take a hike directly out of the campground. It took us up a hill to a gorgeous view through the trees of the valley below. This view will be obscured in a week or two once the trees leaf out. It felt great to be out on the trail again.
Our site here is wonderful- level, large and private, and the campground is clean and quiet. Too bad we're missing the second of the days we had planned here. I think we'll be back.
