2013 - Feb 17 & 18 GA Veterans Memorial & State Park

When we got up this morning, it was 71 degrees inside the camper and 22 degrees outside. The heater worked really well! We packed up and hit the road, stopping at the first McDonald's we saw. We got oatmeal to mix our bran buds with and went on down the road.

We drove 542 miles and made it to Georgia Veterans Memorial State Park, recommended by my friend, Mark. As you'll see, the park is pretty neat - over 900 acres with plenty of amenities, including condos, a lodge, golf course, and restaurant.

It was almost dark by the time we got camped, but because we had such a short distance to drive the next day to get to Crooked River State Park, we took some time in the morning to check things out.

We met two camp hosts there. One was from Taylorville, IL and the other was from Springfield, IL. They both retired from Caterpillar in Decatur. Small world!
