Woodring Branch Campground

April 5-10, 2015: Woodring Branch Campground is located on Carters Lake at the southern end of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Northern Georgia.  We camped along the peaceful shoreline.   

      Skipper was excited to hear the water splashing along the shore just below our campsite.

  

                                        We loved listening to the loons every day.

                        The dogwood trees starting blooming right after we arrived.

                         The honk of this goose couple announced their daily arrival.

                                                  The red buds were in bloom.

Our ride on this 3.5 mile bike trail turned out to be more challenging than we expected.  This is the easy part!  The difficult portion was rocky and steep with many tree roots......and it was 86 degrees!

                                                         The rocky shoreline.

Cotton Hill Campground

April 15, 2014:  We arrived in Fort Gaines, Georgia this afternoon.  This is an Army Corp of Engineers National Campground.  If you have the senior pass camping fees are 50% off.  This is a full hook-up site for $13 a night.  We will be here until Sunday.  Our site is on the lake and is teeming with wildlife.  The pictures show proud parents of four goslings, a crane, and busy ducks.  We settled in, took a walk, and had a dinner of quesadillas. We are looking forward to exploring the area.

Walter F. George Lake, sometimes called Lake Eufaula, stretches 85 miles up the Chattahoochee River.
