After mom's first hip replacement in July went so well, she scheduled replacement of the other hip in October. We wanted to help her through rehab again and since we were able to extend our storage contract we planned on just repeating what we had done the last time. On our way back up to Lebanon, we had a few extra days and decided to do a little sightseeing.
As long we lived in Georgia (more than 30 years) we never visited Cloudland Canyon State Park. It seemed like the perfect place to stop and break up the trip back to mom's. It was only 123.2 miles (84,071.5 total), but we were a bit concerned about the roads. Joani read a lot of reviews that said we should have no problem. They were correct - we left Interstate 75 at exit 320 and took Highway 136 all the way to the park - we took it slow and everything went well.
The park was pretty full. A lot of families were getting in one last camping outing of the season. The campground road was just a bit tight and Joani was concerned that I got very close to one tree, but 5 years of full timing has seasoned this bus driver to have no fear.
We took Sam out for his first walk in the new digs and found the views to be very nice. I might be just a little jaded since it was not all that long ago we were at Grand Canyon National Park, but this is a beautiful park and a couple of thousand miles closer for anyone who lives in Georgia.
We always like to take note of the innovative, some might say, quirky campers we encounter. This one appeared to sleep four and certainly would be better than tent camping on the ground. I think, however, it would be limited to fair weather camping since you would probably want to spend a lot of time outside. Joani found this was a pretty pricey alternative to tent camping at $10,000!
