What a name, huh? Apparently the park is named for one of Georgia's state representatives who got his nickname in high school - we hesitate to ask how he got it! Anyway - the park is about 50 miles south of Chattanooga right off highway 27. We had an uneventful drive to the park, and had a nice surprise when we pulled in. The park is smaller, about 500 acres, with two small lakes on the property. There are only 25 campsites but they are really nice. One of the lakes has a little bridge going right across it, and both of them have walking trails around them. We got set up Wednesday and explored a bit and Dave got in a nice bike ride. It was pleasant out - probably mid-50's, overcast in the morning, but the sun came out for a while toward late afteroon. On Thursday we both spent time outside, even though it was cooler (probably didn't even reach 50) - Dave went to the far side of the lake and fished most of the afternoon, while Foster and I went for a nice long walk around both lakes. We put the kayaks down by the boat ramp so they're ready to go if the weather warms up a little. I was able to go online Wednesday night and get Dave a Georgia fishing license and just print it off! You've got to love the internet when you're on the road. Unfortunately the weather forecast is pretty cold for the next few days, but we have a nice "day trip" planned for Saturday - we're going to drive up to Chattanooga and go to the University of Tennessee Chattanooga women's basketball game - that should be fun! Here's a couple pix of the park - nice place!
