We have had some of the most beautiful weather for the past couple of days which prompted many hours of lounging on the deck. Today, for something different, we took a drive over to Pine Mountain, GA. The area was familiar since we had visited Callaway Gardens many times in the past, but there were several things we had yet to explore.
From the back porch of the visitor center, it was clear we were on top of a mountain (or what passes for a mountain in this area). What a view!
Dowdell's Knob was FDR's favorite place for a picnic when he visited the Little White House in Nearby Warm Springs. He had a BBQ grill built on the overlook. It was filled in with concrete to help with preservation or we might have cooked a few burgers.
I was trying to have an economics discussion with Frank, but he just wouldn't listen.
While we were so close, it made sense to check out the state park campground. It surrounded Delano Lake and was nice, but lakeside spaces were better suited for tents and small pop-ups or small RVs. The handful of 40-foot sites on the lake were pretty steep and would probably scrape the chassis, so beware. There was a loop we missed that we read later had many sites that would accommodate a 40 foot RV.
The lake was certainly picturesque and Joani got a touch of that fall color we were waiting to see.
