Today's drive included a couple of things I would have preferred to avoid - the drive, or should I say climb, over Monteagle, TN, on I-24 and the traffic in Chattanooga, TN. Neither proved to be that terrible as we made our way 230.1 miles (95,240.9 total) to Payne Campground on Lake Allatoona just 20 miles northwest of Atlanta, Georgia's perimeter.
Payne Corp of Engineer's campground was our fall back when our reservations were canceled at Sawnee Corp of Engineer's campground. We found Sawnee was closed because the COE could not find anyone willing to workcamp there. It seemed such a shame because it was a very nice park and it would have been the ideal location for us.
Our site (site 59) was one of the two previous host sites so it had full hook-ups unlike the other 58 sites in the park. It also had more parking area than we have ever had before. That made it convenient when Jon and Sara and Mike and Kate all drove over for the afternoon. That was especially nice for me, I was finished driving for the day and we were able to see everyone!
Sara and Jon are expecting our first grandchild, a girl, on September 23rd and we wanted to be here for the big event. That is only about five weeks away but we will stay busy and I'm sure the time will pass quickly.
