It seems that on the last few trips including this one we have been able to leave early. On Sunday we accomplished more than anticipated to prepare for this trip. Originally the plan was to leave tomorrow, Wednesday. When Tim got home this morning from work we finished up the last few things and got on the road by noon.
We made it all the way to High Falls State Park in Georgia. It's located north of Macon and south of Atlanta. The ride was easy ... Six hours & barely any traffic. The weather seems just a bit cooler here. Traveling through Gainesville we drove through a bad storm where the temp went from 93' to 78' then 72' in just a few minutes. Then once past the storm it took no time to return to the 90's.
Once at High Falls we settled in .... Sitting outside bird watching. Yes, bird watching. We observed flycatchers, swallows and my first sighting of an Eastern Bluebird. At nightfall the birds stopped and we had fire flys, bats and a few random ducks fly over.
Hardly ever do we turn on the TV while traveling. Most of our headline news and weather arrives through email, tweeting and apps on cell phones and our computers. This is what works best for us ... Keeping us outside to enjoy as much of the outdoors as possible.
Tomorrow we plan to get back on I-75 to head farther north ... Closer to the Mothership.
