The plan was to continue south into Florida and coastal Alabama, but we decided to spend a few more weeks around the area to enjoy the nearly perfect weather. With a little luck, we may get to see more fall color at the same time.
Some neighbors mentioned a couple of parks a little to the north still along the Chattahoochee. Joani did her research and found both looked very promising. One was already closed for the season, but R. Shaefer Heard Park, a Corps of Engineers park on West Point Lake, was still open. It was only 79.2 miles (75,336.3 total) mostly on very nice secondary roads. We hit the road by 9:00 to give us a better chance to snag a site (since we had no reservations).
I'm not sure we could have found a better place. Site 91 was a long pull-through with a large deck overlooking the lake. Some large pines gave us some great shade.
Joani used the blower to clear the deck before we settled in for the afternoon. By "settled in", of course, I meant kicked back with a chilled glass of wine. Exploring will have to wait for another day.
What a nice site!
