Stone Mountain GA

We have gone from a stark parking place in a huge, muddy field to a lovely wooded lakeside campsite with a view of the side of Stone Mountain. The site is a very narrow one with steep sides, but we can put our chairs where we have a lovely view. We packed up this morning and made the weighing appointment Bill had made for 9:30 at the convention. They weighed all four corners of the RV, and we are well within our acceptable weight even with the tanks all loaded. Bill felt really good about that.

We only had a two hour drive to Stone Mountain, so we stopped at a pretty rest area near Macon, and sat in a pretty picnic area taking a break. We got here at 1:30. Setting up in this site was a little tricky because of the steep sides of the site, but we got it done. One RV site in another loop near the laundry has a big motor home on it, but the site is so not level that the owner has put bricks under his front jacks which took the front wheels at least 2 feet off the ground. We have no idea how that can be safe at all!! We took a ride around the mountain, checking out some of the things we want to do tomorrow. It was a lovely sunny day, but in the low 60s. It is supposed to be in the 30s here tonight, so we might beat spring back to Raleigh.

Bill did some laundry. I did some unpacking chores around the RV. We have a weak WiFi connection, but our Verizon card is working well. The satellite isn’t getting a signal, but the antenna is bringing in the major networks, so we can at least watch the news and The Amazing Race on Sunday.
