May 15 to 21


We we left lake Seminole Tuesday for R Shafer Heard COE Park close to West point Georgia.
Before we left I took one more hike in the morning and met an armadillo and the trailer from Long Long trailer movie.


R Heard Schaefer campground is at West point lake



Camp at lot 27, good slope to a level spot on the edge of the lake.
At West Point General Tyler held the fort with 300 residents against the Union army even though he had lost his leg in a previous battle and it was a week after Lee had surrendered and they didn't know the war was over.Tyler was killed during the battle and was the last general killed in the Civil War.His youngest fighter was 8 years old and he made him a major. Lots of history.

52 years ago we came to St. Augustine, we have always loved this town. We have stayed at Anastasia island every time we have been here. This is our campsite number 27 We rode our bikes to town and across the bridge of Lions each day. It is about 10 miles plus any riding around town. We went to visit the fort, interesting airplane entrails One of our favorite restaurant  we did not eat there this time but they have neat tree houses. The whole town has fun with Halloween. New restaurant and open 3 weeks and they have one in Savannah. The name is said trailer park. Order the Nachos, not your usual.Waffle fries, chicken and fantastic sauce. Share with at least one other person.  The last day we were here it rained about 6 in. And none of our streets was flooding but there was some. We had about an inch or two of water for a few hours, but the other end of the campground and a lot. At Oscar scherer we had a great surprise when our friend Chris Phipps was camp next to us. Plus her little fri...

This is Olivia and Eden's first day of school. We also got to celebrate maevis's birthday We gave away a lot of stuff, but was able to sell the sunfish at the last moment before closing. Campgrounds are always interested. This is a camper that was straight across from us. These people had a lot of fun look closely at the pictures to see what they wrote on the side of it. One of the planes that flies around the islands every year is the Ford Trip motor We got to garage completely empty and was able to enjoy a couple of days with our friends from Cincinnati Ron and Mary Turnau. We took the ferry to put bay and had ...
