What an interesting evening that was… and unfortunately this will be a short post since I was rained out for most of the day. The park has a quiet time from 11pm to 6am. I heard kids and dogs well into the 1am hour. 🙄 Aside from that it was a restful sleep. Unfortunately, the rain persisted. I was already on-the-fence about taking my hike on the Clayborn Millennium and Merritt Ridge Trailhead due to the amount of people at this location, but since it was quite literally pouring for most of the morning, my hike was cancelled indefinitely. I might go back and try this hike on a weekday, considering my last spot in GA was empty on Thursday! It may look bright in these images, but I believe that has to do with my idiocy in not knowing how to change my camera settings. Maybe my daughter can help me with that since she’s into photography. 🧡
After the rain subsided I decided to take a stroll around the campgrounds and the waterline. The view was amazing. And being far away from the campgrounds, the wind drowned out the noise. It was extremely overcast so the images didn’t quite come out as pretty as I’d hoped, being there was a different story entirely. The view, the breeze, the nice chill 72 degrees temp… Just perfect!
After about 3 or so hours, the drizzling started picking back up, so I headed back to camp and rode it out while working on what images, video and GPS routes I had already taken. It turns out I need more storage on my phone. Lol I did bring my laptop, so I ran to my truck and grabbed that to work on. The rain kept up till the evening but luckily it was light rain.
In its entirety, the park is beautiful. The restroom was ok, but it wasn’t as clean and nice as Red Top Mountains’. I would also strongly suggest staying during the week, since this appears to be an extremely family-orientated campgrounds on weekends.
Happy Camping!
See you on the trail!
