Decided to go to a Georgia State Park
that had been recommended to me by a fellow camper It is called
Cloudland Canyon Park. It was about a four hour drive up to the
northwest part of Georgia in the mountains. Did a little bit of
grocery shopping before I got there because there is no
“civilization” around this park.
First I had to drive through
downtown Atlanta – five lanes each way – I would put it right up
with Chicago type driving. I realized that where I am sitting with
this huge window that if I flip somebody off, they can really see
that I'm flipping them off. I have to remember that I can no longer
be an incognito flipper. Driving through Atlanta was extremely hard.
The park is about an hour off of the freeway and this hour's drive
was also quite the challenge. Let's just say that now I've got
mountain driving under my belt. Up, down – around and around
corners. Speed limit is 55, I was driving about 40. I felt bad for
the local drivers behind me, but again – oh well. The last part of
the drive seemed like it was straight up. I hate to think what going
back down is going to be like. The park is around the edge of a big
gorge and it is beautiful. Lots of space between the sites, level,
nice water and...and...I've got tv so I can watch some of the shows
I've left behind. Best of all worlds, nature and the creature
comforts. I plan to stay here for two days. I need to decompress.
