We’ve seen many Facebook posts from friends back in Ktown showing the snowfall. Sorry, y’all! We’re sitting inside the trailer right now with the AC on because it’s too hot outside!
It’s been a relaxing three days at Crooked River State Park in southern Georgia. Nothing much to do around here ‘cept hike the trails, read, relax and cook over the fire at night. Interesting landscape with the forest floor covered in 4-foot palmettos and then towering pines with green only at the top. Been nice not to have to drive for three days, other than taking the kayaks to the boat ramp.
As the name implies, this park sits on a marshy tidal river, and we took the kayaks out timed with the tides. It’s a very muddy river so not really much to see, but we did enjoy stopping to have a picnic lunch on one of the sandbars exposed at low tide. Got quite close to a group of dolphins hunting in the shallows.
It was Coco’s first kayak outing since she was a puppy, and she didn’t seem to be enjoying it much. In fact, she bailed twice into the murky water and Andrew had to fish her out before she figured out she’d better just stay put or she’d never get home! Probably will just be a while before she gets her boat-legs back, as she fully has her road-legs back and is fine with swimming in the salt water.
Poor thing is also being tormented at our campsite by hundreds of huge squirrels fattened on massive pinecones here. She keeps running after them and can’t figure out where they disappear to behind a tree - she doesn’t seem to get that they can climb! In all honesty, I shouldn’t say they “torment” her...I think she actually just wants to play. Some of them must be about four pounds!
But further southwards tomorrow...just a few miles and we’re into Florida for a stay on a 13-mile stretch of white sand beach!
