Camping in the mountains for a few days

Our camping adventures found us in the North Georgia mountains this month for a few days of camping.  Black Rock Mountains State Park.
The tent was comfortable.  The days were pleasant, but the nights were chilly.




We hiked every day, birding.  There were a lot of trails around.  We couldn't do them all. The birding was fun.
Debbie thinks all these walking keep us young.  She is right.
The area was beautiful.  Very green.  Lots of butterflies, birds, deer, amphibians.
After years of camping, we know how to keep things simple, organized, and efficient.
The State Parks have bathrooms with hot shower.  When you go during the week (versus weekend) and after school starts, you have very few people at the campgrounds. We enjoyed the facilities with hardly anyone else.
Sometimes, we are ready to go home after three nights/four days of camping.  Sometimes, we want to stay longer and have in the past.  We wish we could stay longer on this camping trip.  But it was time to go home.   We enjoyed it.  The simple life!
