last Houray ! Dernier Houra!

None of us had camped in a COE campground before. So before we settled at Paradise Oaks for the winter we spent our last night on the road in Georgia off I10. The beautiful and spacey sites are set on the edge of the biggest lake (manmade lake) in Florida at the Georgia/Florida line. In fact our clocks were going from Eastern Time to Central Time depending where we were standing in the camp.

Unhooked our bikes and paddled along the water to the bottom of the dam where we found some fishermen and women. THis guy is using a net. Not sure it is legal but....

However this lady fished the right way and caught a nice looking bass. Nice dinner tonight.

After checking the dam, we were curious to discover further down the quiet road. It led us to historical markers that we all read: remnants of Sacred Native American Mounds (Chattahoochee group) which were "residential mounds not burial or ceremonial mounds' along the river. 

We all love to understand what happened in each site we chose to visit.

One of the Mound (not a good picture- sorry)

The site also has remnants of steam boats. (below)

As you can see we were thinking of finishing our trip on bikes. How many hours do you think it would take us?

Never mind that thought. We voted to get back to our rigs and toast our travels (with new neighbors who happened to be friendly!! ah ah everyone is friendly in our camping world!!). Got up this morning; took a last picture of the area; and.... dumped!! (this is just the right thing to do to remind ourselves: we are camping not just glamping!! 

Cheers to all who followed us. Hope we have encouraged you to stay adventurous and not be afraid to hit the road. There is so much to see but be aware there are many miles to cover. 

Thanks for your encouragements to start this blog. The long hours on the road, sitting next to my reliable chauffeur, were shortened when, with my computer on my lap and my phone handy I was posting our daily adventures.  It has been fun to share the sites, the history and whatever interesting things we came up to. Our group is sad to see it ends but...there is talks about more to come.
