Leaving Georgia

 

Sunday June 9th

We arrived at Bald Ridge creek campground in Cumming Georgia on Friday June 7th.  We came here so that we could meet up with one of Shane's old buddies that is living in the area.  We got set up on our nice spot with a view of Lake Lanier, which was a very clean, very large lake.

There was a little trail from our site that led down to our own little private beach area.

After having dinner we had a small campfire, then retired to bed.

The next day (Saturday) we headed out to the only small trail the park had, it basically just looped around the lake, took about 15 minutes, but had some nice lake views.

Then we just relaxed for awhile, I read a book from my hammock, and Shane planned out our next spot.  Then I had to get ready for company.  Our guest were scheduled to arrive around 4:00, and I had some cooking to do.  We had BBQ chicken on the grill, onion baked potatoes, green beans, and a pasta salad.  Our friends arrived, we had a great meal, and spent the evening chatting and catching up.

After they left, Shane and I made a discussion on the fly... To leave at the crack of dawn to try to get 5.5 hour hike in before the NASCAR race started so we could try to get satellite signal to watch it. 

So we got up at 6am, packed up and were on the road by 7:30ish.  By the time we got to Tennessee we hit a terrible rain storm, like 20 mph kinda rain storm. It was horrible!!!  And it continued to rain the entire rest of the drive, but we made it eventually to Baileys Point campground, in Glasgow Kentucky, on Barren River lake.

 

We got the satellite set up just in time to watch the second have of the race, after the race it started to rain again, so we retired to inside to catch up on some recorded shows, then went to bed, i was super tired!  On Monday we took a long walk around the campground, this place is huge!!  215 camp sites, and 2 sections were closed during the week so we let Jemma run around off leash, she had a blast.

We had a nice view of the lake, watching the boats cruise by, and we saw some Canadian Geese with 4 babies.

After our walk we relaxed, had dinner, and a very nice fire, thanks to Shane's resourcefulness, of scavenging firewood from empty camp sites!!
We are headed out tomorrow (Tuesday) headed to Indiana, we have a 4.5 hour drive, so we will be trying to get packed up by noon or so.
