August 27--Travel Day

Monday was a travel day. We are getting into retirement mode as we didn’t pull out of the campground until almost 10 a.m. We headed for Cloudland Canyon State Park in northwest Georgia. We had read good reviews of the campground and wanted to stay through Labor Day.

When we arrived at the state park, we were lucky to find one site was available until September 4. We learned from the reviews we read that the West Rim campground was the better place to stay and that was where our site was located!

After setting up camp, we checked phone signals and found that we had strong signals opposed to Cumberland Falls where we had a weak signal. This would have been a good place for the wireless air card. The park is located at the top of a mountain away from any small towns. Unlike some other state parks, it did not have a lodge so there was no internet available—we would have to drive down the mountain and park in the lot of a motel that offered wifi.

We enjoyed a restful evening at our campsite. There were 43 campsites in our campground and only 7 had campers. We were told that the park would fill for the holiday weekend.

When the weather cooled, we walked around the campground loop.
