Camping at General Coffee State Park

Setting up camp!
We're getting faster and faster.

This State Park has a very Southern Georgia Coastal vegetation and feel. Including the mosquitoes! Except that we were prepared for the mosquitoes and, this time, we won that battle. The enemies had no match for the "Repel 40% Deet Sportsman Max Formula weaponry!" I could even go shirtless and these mosquitoes stood at bay. Just one little drawback; I may have reduced my lifespan by 30 minutes or so with all that chemical on my body. I guess we'll walk the trails and eat good food to reverse the negative effect of the mosquito repellent. I'll find out when I die: 30 minutes earlier or later, I guess it doesn't really matter.

Did we enjoy ourselves or what?!
As always, Debbie brought good food, and we grilled a lot.

We did bird watching and found some new birds we've never seen before.
Debbie even saw a big owl while we went in a canoe on the lake. I only saw it when it took off, and yes, it was a big owl. Nature is beautiful, and FREE!

I have to confess, we are still newbies at camping, but we quickly became pros at enjoying ourselves.

It was a full campground on this Labor Day week-end and the trails were full of spider webs. Why? Hardly anyone else was using the trails! Can you believe that? All these folks showing up with their RVs and staying in them watching television. I call that "pretend camping". Well, let Debbie and I have the trails, the lake, the animals, all to ourselves. We won't complain.

After seeing so much bird activities, we've decided just to bring our chairs, sit out at various spots, and just watch. And we were rewarded. Of course, we saw more than birds. Want to know what else? Go camping, you'll love it.
