Tuesday and Wednesday Night – May 16th and 17th
I went on a two night camping training trip, for both me and the girls. I needed to learn to setup and break down a campsite quickly and efficiently with the girls around. Cleo and Aspen had to start getting used to the RV and camping lifestyle. All-in-all I think it was a successful trip.
When we are traveling there is plenty of room on the floor for Cleo and Aspen likes the double bed the dinette set makes when its lowered. It will take some time for the girls to get use to extra vibrations and rattles the RV makes when it’s moving.
Watson Mill State Park – is a 1,018 acre Georgia State Park near Comer and on the South Fork of the Broad River and is where we camped on our first night. The park is about a 30 minute drive from our house. Check in wasn’t until 1PM so we had plenty of time, in the morning, to finish getting ready. We left the house around 12:40PM and got to the park a little after 1PM. After checking in at the welcome center we drove to our campsite #11. It was a very nice shady site that was a drive through.
The Watson Mill State Park has 21 tent, trailer and RV campsites. All of the sites are clean, have picnic tables, fire pits and water and electrical hookups.
Food – I prepared a tortellini salad before we left because the weather forecast was calling for severe thunderstorms and I wanted something that didn’t require cooking for dinner. I had just finished dinner around 6:30PM and was listen to Public Radio when the public announcement for severe weather came through. The area they mentioned was north Oglethorpe County and Watson Mill State Park. We got some wind, heavy rain a little hail and lots of thunder and lightning. Aspen was a nervous wreck and stayed very close to me all night. The next morning we got up had coffee, breakfast and long hike before we headed off to Victory Bryant State Park for our next night.
