Southbound

It has been quite a summer for Molly and I begining on the Atlantic coast in Nags Head North Carolina on May 1 2010 we swung south into South Carolina taking our time to get to North Georgia.
I tried to visit every State Park in North GA where we would set up camp and stay until we had seen every thing of interest in that area then move to the next camp.
The Parks we spent time in were Black Rock Mountain, Cloudland and all those in between, the town of Helen is a tourist trap but well worth the visit.
If you wish to see some pictures we took go to webshots.com and search for billyecole.
Well it is turning cold in the mountains and since we spent last winter where there was plenty of snow, Molly wants to head south. So Savannah Ga. is most likely our destination south.
I have summited several camp host applications and should have a site to host before we get there, I just hope we can land one with the NPS.
We have a tenative plan to drift along the souther route I10 over to the Big Bend NP in southern Texas. Then there are 12 states along the Rockies that we plan to tour extenseively taking at least a month in each state.
However that plan has been roaming around in my head for at least 4 years and we haven't made it across the Mississippi river yet, been on the Miss. but not across.
What the heck, I will probably end up in Maine or Vermont because with all the free time we have and nothing to do but enjoy retirement I often change my mind. After all I have found out that is what the calendar is for, to look at those pretty pictures and decide to go see that place.
Life is good, thank your Jesus.
