Let's Try Again Sept 2020

Yesterday we traveled about 50 miles to Moccasin Creek State Park in Clarksville, GA.  Our goal again was have a picnic lunch and see if it would be a good place to overnight a day or two. 

The park is on Lake Burton, a 2775 acre reservoir with 62 miles of shoreline.  Not much shoreline was allotted to the park.

Nor much picnic space.  The park is mostly an RV campground.  It was surprisingly full, and we did not see anyone wearing a mask.

 

So, we turned around to find another picnic spot.  It looked as though this would be a fun place to party, but no one here was wearing a mask or social distancing.  I guess they were too "plastered" to be concerned about the virus.  Maybe that's why Georgia is one of the hottest covid spots.

Bob suggested we stop at Chau Ram, a county park near home.

It was as beautiful as ever, and free with our senior Oconee County pass.

Plus, with reminders like this, it felt like a safe place.

We had our choice of picnic spots, but this one was a bit too difficult for us to access.



So we chose to sit under one of the covered pavilions.  We enjoyed our lunch and were still home by noon!
