Well, we FINALLY are getting a break on the weather. We loved R. Schaefer Heard Campground at West Point Lake, but it basically rained off and on ALL week (I know - it could be snow!). We did our best to find activities, but by Sunday night even my normal optimism was wearing a bit thin! We would definitely return to this park again, since we never really got a chance to do all of the "park stuff" that is available here - and it really is a beautiful park.
So - finally Wednesday arrived - moving day! And of course for the first time it was actually sunny and quite pleasant. We debated - very briefly - whether we should stay another day but ended up deciding to move to the next park since it was 120 miles further south and would probably be a few degrees warmer. We continued moving down US 27 - we have been enjoying traveling this route - what a great alternative to taking I-75 down through the length of Georgia. We got to our new park about 3:00. It's called Cotton Hill and is one of the Army Corps of Engineer parks on the Walter F. George Lake. We're about 2/3 
of the way down the western edge of Georgia, about 15 miles south of Eufala, AL - which is where we'll probably get our groceries and stuff. When we got here the sun was shining and it was in the low 60's - very, very nice! We both jumped out and immediately did some outdoor stuff. Dave threw a line in the lake - picture of him attached, looking very pleased with himself. I jumped in the kayak for about an hour then went for a walk around the park. There are probably 5 campsites being used at the moment, so it's very private and quiet and serene. At sunset I rode my bike over to the portion of the campground that faces to the west - we're facing more toward the south - and snapped some pictures of the sunset - first one we've seen in a week! This is a beautiful park and the weather report is looking pretty good - only one day of rain projected through the next ten days. So we're all settled in for a week and really looking forward to finally getting in some of our favorite activities. More to follow...
