The beauty of Tennessee

Enjoyed another 4 day trip with the Van dwellers group.  On the way out stopped to take a few pics of the scenery.  Tennessee may be lacking in Football, Corn bread and BBQ but they have some beautiful land.

                                          Clean cold shallow river.  Sweet sound of water gurgling!

                                              
                                           Beautiful flowers everywhere.

Nice

                           OK,OK,,,  Tennessee folk can make pretty good Cornbread and BBQ.

I fought the Pole and the Pole Won

OOPS

Memorial day weekend and I had a backing up tragety.    First the pole that caused it.  Bad Pole...  Bad Pole

Then the dent.  Not a big one but still a dent.

Thankfully no damage to my rig and I think I can straighten out my cargo carrier a little.  Ego was dented a little but what can you do?

Mileage Check

Drove 128 miles in the N. GA mountains.  Took 8.8 gallons of diesel. That's 14.54 mpg.  Not real good but not too bad.

Coosawattee River Resort Ellijay, GA

Spent a very nice 4 days camping with my friend Karen who is the camp host at FishTrap campgrounds.

Good weather with a bit of rain and as always lots of good food.   Was able to cruise around Ellijay and enjoy the sites.   Campground was basically empty with just a few day campers.

Here is my camp site

Bella seemed to enjoy herself being both relaxed and ever diligent.

Gracie always enjoys herself..   Love this photo

The beautiful river only a few steps from my camp

Spring camping at Tumbling creek.

Getting excited about the spring and some warm weather.  Happy to report that the Bus is running great and I'm looking forward to some camping !!!!!

Rough Holiday weekend

Almost starved to death huddled against the blowing cold and snow.  Thankfully  I was able to use my survival skills to gather a few meager nutrients from the deep forest.
